본문내용
“The Things They Carried” (1990) by Tim O’ Brien is one of the most celebrated works about the Vietnam War (Smith 8). According to the New York Times, “[A] marvel of storytelling…a vital, important book – a book that matters not only to the reader interested in Vietnam, but to anyone interested in the craft of writing as well.” It is regarded as a collection of related stories or a novel, over the Vietnam War.
In his collection, there are twenty-two short stories such as “Love,” “On the Rainy River,” “How to Tell a True War Story,” “Church,” “The Man I killed,” “In the Field,” and “The Ghost Soldiers.” However, “The Things They Carried,” whether it is considered a war story, coming-of-age story, memory story, or a novel, is “factual fiction (Book review 1). In “The Things They Carried,” Tim O’Brien, as a witness and a novelist, harmonizes fact and fiction with his experiences and imagination about the dilemmatic Vietnam War.
