They battle the enemy (or maybe more the idea of the enemy), and occasionally each other. In their relationships we see their isolation and loneliness, their rage and fear. They miss their families, their girlfriends and buddies; they miss the lives they left back home. Yet they find sympathy and kindness for strangers (the old man who leads them unscathed through the mine field, the girl who grieves while she dances), and love for each other, because in Vietnam they are the only family they have. We hear the voices of the men and build images upon their dialogue. The way they tell stories about others, we hear them telling stories about themselves. With the creative verve of the greatest fiction and the intimacy of a searing autobiography, The Things They Carried is a testament to the men who risked their lives in America's most controversial war. It is also a mirror held up to the frailty of humanity. Ultimately The Things They Carried and its myriad protagonists call to order the courage, determination, and luck we all need to survive.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1351695</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1351695</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[O'Brien, Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1351695180</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Work of Fiction</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9780547420295&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[America Fantastica]]></title><description><![CDATA[On a quest to settle a score with the man who destroyed his life, Boyd Halverson robs a bank and takes a hostage, in the new novel from the author of The Things They Carried.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1526007</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1526007</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[O'Brien, Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1526007180</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9780063318502&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[America Fantastica]]></title><description><![CDATA[On a quest to settle a score with the man who destroyed his life, Boyd Halverson robs a bank and takes a hostage.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1525887</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1525887</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[O'Brien, Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1525887180</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9780063318526&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dad's Maybe Book]]></title><description><![CDATA["Best-selling author Tim O'Brien shares wisdom from a life in letters, lessons learned in wartime, and the challenges, humor, and rewards of raising two sons"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1405025</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S180C1405025</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[O'Brien, Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hayward.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1405025180</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=HPL69788&amp;password=CC99704&amp;Value=9780618039708&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Things They Carried]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Things They Carried depicts the men of Alpha Company: Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders, Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and the character Tim O'Brien, who has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of 43.
