Description
“If this does, in fact, prove to be the last thing he writes, it is a touching conclusion to a
literary career that has left us with a shelf of enduring novels, memoirs and short stories
. Mr. Oâ€Brien, like Hemingway, didnâ€t necessarily write about war as much as something
larger: our shared humanity.―— Wall Street Journal “[A] stirring blend of memoir,
letters to his young sons, and meditations on the humbling nature of parenthood . . .Â
Itâ€s a work thatâ€s the spiritual inheritor of John Steinbeckâ€s Travels With Charley and
Kurt Vonnegutâ€s A Man Without a Country. Like those, Dadâ€s Maybe Book dwells on
the state of America and American life. He takes absolutism to task, finds qualifications for his own
pacifism and considers the paradox of a moral society that allows for forever war.― —TIME
Magazine“Brilliant . . . To say the book is about ‘fatherhood†is akin to saying that
Catch-22  is about World War II.― —VVA Veteran (Vietnam Veterans of America) 'This
moving, heart-wrenching book, so raw in the best of all senses, will make you weep after exulting
in lifeâ€s energies and 'maybes.' It is genuinely human at every level.'— Providence Journal
“Tim Oâ€Brien is back in top form… Rather than as a war writer, Oâ€Brien might also
object to being thought of as a spiritual writer, the way one thinks of Camus, Hemingway, or
Tolstoy. But there he is. One of the essentials.― — DeWitt Henry,Woven Tale Press
 “A bountiful treasury of fatherly advice, memoir, literary criticism, history, political
commentary, and a dash of magic and miracles…There are smiles and tears awaiting the reader
on every page of this often emotionally charged book, and enough wisdom in it about what it
means to be a parent, and a decent human being, to fuel many hours of personal recollection and
reflection.―— BookReporter  “A gorgeous book, a love letter and legacy.― —
Psychology Todayâ€s “One True Thing― blog  “This loving gift to
[Oâ€Brienâ€s] now-teenage sons is sprinkled with literary criticism, writing tips, thoughts on
his relationship with his father and philosophy on aging and mortality…Tender and hilarious.―
— Minneapolis Star Tribune '[O'Brien] poignantly captures the trials of parenthood...
Interspersed throughout are memoiristic chapters sharing his fears and political awakening during
his military service in Vietnam and passionately articulating his antiwar beliefs. Like most dads,
O'Brien carries the hopes, fears, and dreams of his children in his own heart.' --Â Booklist
 “A warm account of life as an older dad with two growing sons.― — Milwaukee Journal-
Sentinel  “A collection of—among other things—briefly noted moments that would have
most likely been forgotten: letters from a father to his sons, detailed chapters about a Purple Heart
recipientâ€s experiences in Vietnam and Oâ€Brienâ€s fondness for Ernest

Hemingway.―— The Arts Fuse “A candid, vulnerable, and honest portraitof the
challenges, humor, and rewards of raising two sons, as well as the lessons learned trying to
survive in wartime, trying to find internal peace in peacetime, and trying to get your kids to fall
asleep at bedtime.―— American Writers Museum blog  “A moving meditation on
fatherhood.― — The National, Amtrakâ€s magazine  “Touching . . . A dazzling
dedication to life, love, and fatherhood.― — Austin Monthly  “Tim Oâ€Brien has
written amazingly powerful novels. Now heâ€s gifting us with a terrific book of personal
essays. His every just-the-right word about family, history, war, literature, and love
dispatched tears and laughter and contemplation into my brain and heart.― — Orange
County Register “Is this a book? Maybe. Actually, itâ€s at least three…Ultimately, it is a
book about those boys and his unbounded love for them.― — New York Times Book Review
 “O'Brien uses his deft skill of wordplay throughout this latest book…Fans of parenting
books, memoirs, and stories of Vietnam War veterans will find enjoyment in these heartfelt
words.― — Library Journal  “[A] tender memoir . . . With great candor, Oâ€Brien
succeeds in conveying the urgency parents may feel at any age, as they ready their children for
life without them.― — Publishers Weekly  “Oâ€Brien writes of the bitter irony of being
known as a war writer, ‘despite my hatred for war, despite my ineptitude at war, despite my
abiding shame at having participated in war.â€â€• — Pittsburgh Post-Gazette TIM
Oâ€BRIEN received the 1979 National Book Award for Going After Cacciato. Among his other
books are The Things They Carried, Pulitzer Finalist and a New York Times Book of the
Century, and In the Lake of the W
