Tomcat in Love

Tim O'Brien
Purchase this title at B&N

Far from the O'Brien I've previously read, this only vaguely touches on the Vietnam war. I started not particularly fond of this book, but after 75 pages or so it picked up quite a bit despite a thoroughly narcissic main character, Thomas Chippering (?). In the end, a worthy read.
