A finalist for both the 1990 Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics
Circle Award, The Things They Carried marks a subtle but definitive line
of demarcation between Tim O'Brien's earlier works about Vietnam, the
memoir If I Die in a Combat Zone and the fictional Going After Cacciato,
and this sly, almost hallucinatory book that is neither memoir nor novel
nor collection of short stories but rather an artful combination of
all three.
