Synopsis
A CLASSIC FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE THINGS THEY CARRIED "To call Going After Cacciato a novel about war is like calling Moby-Dick a novel about whales." So wrote The New York Times of Tim O'Brien's now classic novel of Vietnam. Winner of the 1979 National Book Award, Going After Cacciato captures the peculiar mixture of horror and hallucination that marked this strangest of wars. In a blend of reality and fantasy, this novel tells the story of a young soldier who one day lays down his rifle and sets off on a quixotic journey from the jungles of Indochina to the streets of Paris. In its memorable evocation of men both fleeing from and meeting the demands of battle, Going After Cacciato stands as much more than just a great war novel. Ultimately it's about the forces of fear and heroism that do battle in the hearts of us all. Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader's guide and bonus content

    $7.40 is a great price for a hardcover book. Especially for one in “Like New/Very Good” condition, and one that I could no longer find in my sizable library system. The book I received was accurate to the seller’s description: intact dust-jacket, secure binding, and the exact volume (No. 3) of The Chronicles of Faerie that I requested. With it also being shipped promptly and delivered on time, this was an excellent purchase experience. I’d happily recommend this seller to anyone!
