Author Tim O’Brien joins us in the studio 20 years after the publication of his short story collection “The Things They Carried,” a book the New York Times Book Review called “one of the finest books, fact or fiction, written about the Vietnam War.” O’Brien’s work, whether it was his 1973 memoir “If I Die in a Combat Zone” or “July, July,” his most recent novel, is known for its searing portrayal of soldiers struggling with the reality of war.
