We will have a Village Books hosted discussion after the showing.
The Things They Carried depicts the men of Alpha Company: Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders, Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and the character Tim O'Brien, who has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of forty-three.
Taught everywhere--from high school classrooms to graduate seminars in creative writing--it has become required reading for any American and continues to challenge readers in their perceptions of fact and fiction, war and peace, courage and fear and longing. The Things They Carried just won the Pritzker Military Library Literature Award and has also won France's prestigious Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger and the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize; it was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.

A finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize, The Things They Carried is one of the finest books about the Vietnam War ever written. O’Brien makes a special appearance to discuss this contemporary American classic. This keynote is part of a month-long series of events and projects inspired by The Things They Carried, and recognizing the contributions of America’s servicemen and women. The Big Read is produced by the Center for Literature and Theatre @ Miami Dade College and presented in collaboration with Books & Books. 7:30pm Free and open to the public.
