"This new Approaches collection is both for aficionados of Tim O'Brien (and Vietnam literature) and for those with somewhat broader literary interests. I have nothing but glowing praise for its substantial achievement." --David Jarraway, University of Ottawa, "This new Approaches collection is both for aficionados of Tim O'Brien (and Vietnam literature) and for those with somewhat broader literary interests.

Without question, Carried, Cacciato, andLake of the Woods deserve most of the attention because they are O'Brien's strongest books, and his questions of reliability and war fiction his most enduring concerns. These are the issues most pressing for students in an era of two wars and the twenty-four-hour news cycle, and the outlying methods provide enough diversity to make Approaches an effective tool for introducing the author to a range of educational contexts." --Joseph George, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, "This plurality among contributors and potential readers offsets any redundancy in the target texts.
