Author Tim O’Brien is Featured Speaker at Sierra Nevada College this Friday
Sierra Nevada College presents an evening with Tim O’Brien on Friday, September 21 at 7 p.m. at the college campus. O’Brien is this year’s featured speaker in SNC’s “One Book, One Campus” program. This year, all incoming students and college faculty read the author’s The Things They Carried, O’Brien’s 1990 story collection about the Vietnam War. The book, whose title story received the National Magazine Award, was named one of the twenty best books of the last quarter century by the New York Times.

Copies of the book are available at the Incline Village Public Library and Sierra Nevada College’s Prim Library.

In addition to the free presentation by Tim O’Brien on Friday, September 21, the author will hold a writing workshop ($50) the following morning from 10am-12pm.
