More on The Things They Carried 20th Anniversary
Tim O’Brien’s publisher, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, is rolling out a huge marketing package to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the publication of his iconic collection of interconnected in-country Vietnam War short stories, The Things They Carried . The book has sold some two million copies and is a stable in high school and college English and Vietnam War history classes,
That campaign features, among other things, a new jacket (above) for the book, which is now available in paperback, hardcover, e book, and Kindle; a traditional in-person book tour; and a live webcast that starts at 1:00 Eastern time on Monday, March 22. To sign up for that webcast and to see a list of O’Brien’s live events as well as other O’Brien material, go to the website his publisher has created for the 20th anniversary.
