A Trauma Artist: Tim O'Brien and the Fiction of  Vietnam
“No one after Heberle will probably ever read O'Brien's texts as  thoroughly or meticulously as he has from start to finish, and no one  will probably need to…It will become, I suspect, the standard exegetical  text as well.”—Philip Beidler, author ofAmerican Literature and the Experience of Vietnam and Re-Writing America: Vietnam Authors in Their Generation“A truly praiseworthy work—Heberle manages to combine biographical,  psychological, and historical criticism and analysis in convincing  analytical and synthetic ways…An enlightening journey through the life  and works of a key voice in contemporary American literature.”—Thomas  Myers, author ofWalking Point: American Narratives of Vietnam
