"This book revisits the American canon of novels, memoirs, and films about the war in Vietnam, in order to trace the strategies of representation that establish American soldiers and veterans as the most significant victims of the war, and to investigate the mythologization of "Vietnam" in the American cultural narrative of the war"--

A Trauma Artist examines how O'Brien's works variously rewrite his own traumatization during the war in Vietnam as a never-ending fiction that paradoxically ""recovers"" personal experience by both recapturing and (re)disguising it. Mark Heberle considers O'Brien's career as a writer through the prisms of post-traumatic stress disorder, postmodernist metafiction, and post-World War II American political uncertainties and public violence.
