Tim O'Brien
Tim O'Brien grew up in Worthington, Minnesota. After graduation, he was drafted for the Vietnam War. This was tough for O'Brien, especially because he opposed the war. He even considered fleeing to Canada to avoid serving.
However, he did not want to be ostracized for his actions, so he was shipped to Vietnam in 1969. His experiences in war inspired him to write. |
