Title: Well done, but Preferred IN PHAROH'S ARMY by Tobias Wolff
Product review: Tim O'brien tells a good story, and mixes in fact--or the illusion of fact--and fiction skillfully. Still, sometimes the fiction just didn't work for me; most notably, when one of the soldier's girlfriends came and turned from cheerleader type to bush-soldier extraordinarie. I understand the methaphor/aim of this, but it seemed over the top. For a pitch-perfect wonderful, fact/memoir of Vietnam, I think IN PHAROH'S ARMY is a masterpiece. If you're not familiar with Tobias Wolff, you're in for a treat.
