McCrory: The title (“The Things He Carried”) is a play on the title of O’Brien’s novel The Things They Carried. It was actually chosen by the Baltimore City Paper when they published this article some 18 years ago. But I guess I can see why it might be confusing.

I was wondering why this is titled “… The Things They Carried” when the interview is about In the Lake of the Woods?

It is indeed a great interview though, and thank you for posting it!

I really enjoyed this interview, thank you for sharing! I am just preparring for an exam on Mr. O’ Brien’s In the Lake of the Woods and this really helped me with a postmodernist question.

Thanks

Rachel: Sorry, I don’t actually know Mr. O’Brien or how to get in touch with him. This interview was conducted 15 years ago at this point. You might try contacting his publisher.

Every year, our juniors read The Things They Carried and I have been wanting Mr. O’Brien to speak at our school. Do you know of how I could reach him or schedule a visit? Thanks so much.

Fantastic interview! Really sparked thoughts, ideas and increased my understanding of the book. I really enjoyed the book and its uniqueness in its style and set up.

Great stuff,
