Reviews
"Exhaustive... Vernon appears to have tracked down most every individual who crossed paths with O'Brien and...sleuthed through a veritable mountain of reference material." -- New York Times " Peace Is a Shy Thing is in part a fan's notes; the men's 20-plus year friendship provides the bedrock of O'Brien's candid interviews, presenting a portrait of a giant in American letters." --BookPage "Alex Vernon has written a revelatory, insightful, and deeply moving biography of one of the most important authors of our time. Vernon beautifully illuminates the exquisite artistry and imaginative power of Tim O'Brien's work, the discipline of his craft, and the urgent moral questions he reckons with. In these pages, O'Brien--a fascinating, complicated human being and artist--comes vividly to life." --Lynn Novick and Ken Burns, filmmakers of The Vietnam War "Tim O'Brien is one of the essential writers of his generation. More than any other records we have, his fiction documents the fissures that defined America in the latter half of the twentieth century and into the new millennium. They are also models of the highest art. In this magnificent new biography, Alex Vernon tells O'Brien's story with sympathy and an understanding of the nuances--historical, cultural, political, and personal--that made O'Brien the writer he became." --Tracy Daugherty, author of Pulitzer finalist Larry McMurtry "Vernon, whose critical faculties are very sharp throughout, is astute in tracing O'Brien's early inspiration to the 'moral injury' he suffered during his service in the Vietnam War, and meticulous in stitching minute details in the life to parallel details in the work. Peace Is a Shy Thing is a marvelous tapestry, in which one may finally read the answer to one of Vernon's key questions: How do you write inscrutability?" --Madison Smartt Bell, author of Child of Light, "Alex Vernon has written a revelatory, insightful, and deeply moving biography of one of the most important authors of our time. Vernon beautifully illuminates the exquisite artistry and imaginative power of Tim O'Brien's work, the discipline of his craft, and the urgent moral questions he reckons with.

Synopsis
The first literary biography of Tim O'Brien, the preeminent American writer of the war in Vietnam and one of the best writers of his generation, drawing on never-before-seen materials and original interviews. "Vietnam made me a writer." --Tim O'Brien Featuring over one hundred interviews with family, friends, peers, and others--not to mention countless exchanges with Tim O'Brien himself-- Peace is a Shy Thing provides a nearly day-by-day, gripping account of O'Brien's thirteen months as an infantryman in Vietnam and gives equal diligence to reconstructing O'Brien's writing process. This meticulously researched biography explores the life and journey that turned O'Brien into a literary icon and a household name. It includes an unpublished short story about O'Brien from a college girlfriend, documentation of his comical involvement with the Washington Post 's coverage of Watergate, and a 1989 attic exchange between American and Vietnamese writers on the eve of the publication of O'Brien's most beloved book, The Things They Carried , years before the two countries normalized relations. Peace is a Shy Thing is as much a history of the era as it is a story of O'Brien's life, from his small-town midwestern mid-century childhood, to winning the National Book Award and his status as literary elder statesman. A story which Vernon, a combat veteran of the Persian Gulf War and a literary scholar trained by officers and professors of the Vietnam era, is uniquely suited to tell.
