Резюме:

Among the slew of Vietnam War novels, Timothy O’Brien’s The Things They Carried stands out for its lyrical prose, packing a hefty punch of insightful speculation on the nature of war and the art of conveying it. What sets this novel apart from other Vietnam War novels is the linguistic virtuosity of the author in employing a number of counter-intuitive linguistic modes and strategies whose goal is to impart the felt experience of the soldiers, culminating in a unique lyrical flow contrapuntal to the grim reality of war.
