Tim O'Brien
#19 in Teen & Young Adult
The Things They Carried, a semi-autobiographical collection of connected short stories first brought Tim O'Brien to the attention of critics. Another work inspired by his experiences serving in Vietnam, Going After Cacciato won the National Book Award. William Timothy O'Brien was born in 1946, grew up in small town Minnesota, and graduated from Macalester College in 1968 with a B.A. in political science. O'Brien was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1968 and sent to Vietnam, where he served from 1969 to 1970 and was sent home with a Purple Heart. Returning to the U.S., he attended graduate school at Harvard University and served an internship with the Washington Post. While at Harvard, his first book, the memoir If I Die in a Combat Zone, Box Me Up and Ship Me Home was published in 1973. O'Brien spent a year the Washington Post and then turned to writing full-time. His many honors include the Dayton Literary Peace Prize lifetime achievement award, a Guggenheim fellowship, and two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships. He lives in central Texas.
