- Annotation
- Compares The Things They Carried (1990) to In Our Time, opening with a discussion of their partial adherence to the conventions of the short story cycle before moving into an analysis of Soldier s Home and Speaking of Courage. Ciocia argues that O Brien s Bowker attempts to break through the silence and half truths of maladjusted veterans like Krebs by trying to say what Krebs would not say. Concludes that Bowker s need to bond with his audience by telling his story contrasts sharply with Krebs s desire for silence and solitude.
