Author Visit: Tim O'Brien - Cleveland Public Library

Author Visit: Tim O'Brien
As part of the "Literature to Life" performance program, Tim O'Brien author The Things They Carried joins us September 28th at 7:00 p.m. at the Cleveland Public Library - Main Library.

Tim O'Brien has written a work of fiction, The Things They Carried, based on his experiences in the U.S. army during the Vietnam Conflict. It's chock full of real conflicts, real sadness, real friendships. This great book has now been made into a play by American Place Theater. Along with Playhouse Square and the Cleveland Public Library, Cuyahoga County Public Library is bringing this play to Cleveland. It will be performed in Playhouse Square's Idea Center November 11 - 18. Tim O'Brien, live and in the flesh, will visit the Fairview Park Regional Branch on Saturday, October 1 at 2 p.m. to discuss The Things They Carried and his experiences.
