Publisher's Synopsis

This study examines how Tim O'Brien's works variously rewrite his own traumatization during the war in Vietnam by offering a never-ending fiction that "recovers" personal experience by both recapturing and (re)disguising it. The critique is set in the context of postmodern metafiction.
