Tanglewood: If I Die in a Combat Zone

on BBC Radio 3

"My books are in essence about illusion. I know in my own life I practise that plenty - pretending
Vietnam didn't mean anything to me. Yet here I am, 20 years later, writing about it." The drive to understand the trauma of the Vietnam War has spawned hundreds of books, the majority written by those who served there. One of the most acclaimed of these writers today is Boston-based novelist Tim O'Brien , whose books have become bestsellers. Michael Goldfarb
considers his work and the issues raised by his writing.
