A great starting point for students seeking an introduction to Tim O'Brien and the critical discussions surrounding his work.
This collection brings together a selection of recent representative critical essays on O'Brien from a variety of perspectives.

Each essay is 2,500 to 5,000 words in length, and all essays conclude with a list of ""Works Cited,"" along with endnotes. Finally, the volume's appendixes offer a section of useful reference resources:
