Update on Tim O'Brien

One of my favorite authors, Tim O'Brien, spoke to University of North Dakota students and faculty and was headline story in Grand Forks Herald.  These links are generally broken after a few days; archives may require paid subscription.

For me, Tim O'Brien took the baton from Hunter S. Thompson, who in turn took it from Graham Green, who took it from Ernest Hemingway, who grabbed it from Joseph Conrad, and with a big reach, grabbed it from Daniel Defoe, who took it from Miguel de Cervantes. It seems like I'm missing someone between Defoe and Cervantes but you get the idea.
