"O'Brien famously distinguishes between "happening-truth," or an accurate and verifiable account of historical events, and "story truth," or
readers' genuine experience of the story, even if the details are invented. The book blurs the lines between fiction and truth even further in
its dedication to a group of soldiers who turn out to be fictional characters throughout the rest of the book, and in the appearance of "Tim
O'Brien" in several stories, a figure who seems very similar to, but not quite identical with, the author" - John Young, Ransom Center
Magazine
Prompt: Do the themes of the novel (bravery, guilt, regret, etc.) still carry the same weight of importance now that you know O'Brien's stories
are fake? Explain why or why not.
