Going After Cacciato

After writing about Tim O’Brien’s book The Things They Carried, an acquaintance recommended that I also check out another of O’Brien’s novels, Going After Cacciato. That sounded like a good idea to me, so I got a copy of the audiobook edition expecting another war novel along the lines of The Things They Carried. I was about half-right. It’s partly a war novel, and partly a modern version of Around the World in Eighty Days.
