A young woman in my Lyft car told me about Tim OBriens book, The Things They Carried. I got it from the library and started reading it yesterday. The book is spellbinding. I found myself in tears a number of times, for no identifiable reason, no obvious ploys to predictably move me. He tells a story with a distinctive twist, with some language that I recall from conversations with Vietnam veterans, and some non-linear, 1960s era phrases that reach deep into my heart and memory. So far, not a blood and guts, jungle shootem up, but yarns of an amazing experience told brilliantly.
