Forty years after the fall of Saigon, the Vietnam War continues to exert a powerful hold on American literature, film and culture. With chapters written by leading scholars, The Vietnam War is a wide-ranging guide to literary responses to the conflict and its legacy. Covering the most widely studied texts - from Michael Herr's Dispatches, through the work of Tim O'Brien, Bobbie Ann Mason and Larry Heinemann to recent writings such as Denis Johnson's Tree of Smoke - the book explores journalism and memoir as well as fictional responses. Beyond the traditional canon of Vietnam War writing, the book also explores works by Vietnamese-American authors and Vietnamese writings in translation and the revival of interest in the conflict in post-9/11literature. Including an historical timeline of the conflict and annotated guides to further reading, this is an essential guide for students and readers of contemporary American fiction
