Stories, for me, are about saving life. Not in a physical sense, of course, but it's preserving that which is enduring and forever. - Tim O'Brien

Tim O'Brien, Macalester College class of 1968, joined Macalester professor and fellow author Marlon James for a conversation on a range of topics, including O'Brien's participation in the recent Vietnam War documentary from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick.
