About this work of fiction
The Things They Carried : a Work of Fiction by Tim O'Brien is a work of fiction available to read on EtoBox.
One of the first questions people ask about The Things They Carried is this: Is it a novel, or a collection of short stories? The title page refers to the book simply as "a work of fiction," defying the conscientious reader's need to categorize this masterpiece. It is both: a collection of interrelated short pieces which ultimately reads with the dramatic force and tension of a novel. Yet each one of the twenty-two short pieces is written with such care, emotional content, and prosaic precision
It is typically read by readers looking for immersive, entertainment-first reading.
