On the twentieth anniversary of its publication, The Things
They Carried returns to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in
paperback, with over two million copies in print. A classic work of American literature that has not stopped
changing minds and lives since it burst onto the literary
scene, The Things They Carried is a ground-breaking
meditation on war, memory, imagination, and the redemptive
power of storytelling. The Things They Carried depicts the men of Alpha Company:
Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders,
Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and the character Tim O’Brien, who
has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and
writer at the age of forty-three. Taught everywhere—from high school classrooms to graduate
seminars in creative writing—it has become required reading
for any American and continues to challenge readers in
their perceptions of fact and fiction, war and peace,
courage and fear and longing.
