Tim O'Brien, author of the great novel 'The Things They Carried,' explains how Covid and Trump spawned 'America Fantastica,' his first novel in 20 years.
“Mythomania — or plain old lying — infiltrated churches, schools, hair salons, corporate boardrooms, courtrooms, and nightclubs.” So Tim O’Brien describes the state of things in “America Fantastica,” the renowned author’s first novel in more than two decades.
