Tim O’Brien’s acclaimed novels include "The Things They Carried" (an NEA Big Read, which the New York Times said belongs on “the shortlist of essential fiction about Vietnam”), "If I Die in a Combat Zone," "In the Lake of the Woods," and "Going After Cacciato" (which won the 1979 National Book Award in fiction), among others. In 2013 he was awarded the Pritzker Military Library Literature Award for Lifetime Achievement in Military Writing. O’Brien was interviewed for Ken Burns’ 2017 documentary series, "The Vietnam War." Most recently he was a co-writer on the Vietnam episodes of the NBC series "This Is Us." His latest book is “Dad’s Maybe Book," where he shares wisdom from a life in letters, lessons learned in wartime, and the challenges, humor, and rewards of raising two sons.
