Tim O'Brien

This collection of seven essays, like the carefully linked collection of vignettes within Tim OΓÇÖBrienΓÇÖs most popular book The Things They Carried, contains multiple critical and biographical angles with recurring threads of life events, themes, characters, creative techniques, and references to all of OΓÇÖBrienΓÇÖs books. Grounded in through research, HerzogΓÇÖs work illustrates how OΓÇÖBrien merges his life experiences with his creative production; he rarely misses an opportunity to introduce these critical life events into his writing.
