About This Item
New York: Houghton Mifflin, 2002. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Very Fine/Good. The National Book Award-winning author of the Vietnam War classics "Going After Cacciato" and "The Things They Carried," revisits that era with ten members of the Darton Hall College class of 1969 as they gather for their 30-year reunion in a story both heart-rending and hilarious; a Very Fine, unread copy in a dustjacket showing some rubbing and staining in lower right corner of front panel where price sticker was apparently removed.
Synopsis
As he did with In the Lake of the Woods , National Book Award winner Tim O'Brien strikes at the emotional nerve center of our lives with this ambitious, compassionate, and terrifically compelling new novel that tells the remarkable story of the generation molded and defined by the 1960s. At the thirtieth anniversary of Minnesota's Darton Hall College class of 1969, ten old friends reassemble for a July weekend of dancing, drinking, flirting, reminiscing, and regretting. The three decades since their graduation have seen marriage and divorce, children and careers, dreams deferred and disappointed-many memories and many ghosts. Together their individual stories create a portrait of a generation launched into adulthood at the moment when their country, too, lost its innocence. Imbued with his signature themes of passion, memory, and yearning, July, July is Tim O'Brien's most fully realized work.
