The Things They Carried

For Part 3, we will be reading Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, which is a composite novel or a short story cycle based on the author's own experiences during the Vietnam War in the 1960s.  Although the book itself was written in the 1980s, the context of the work is the 1960s, as it was the events of that time that clearly shaped the author's sensibilities and are reflected on in the novel.
