Novelist TIM O'BRIEN has been called "one of our most eloquent writers about Vietnam" (Playboy). "In the Lake of the Woods" (Houghton Mifflin / Seymour Lawrence) is his new novel about a man whose involvement in the war is much like O'BRIEN's. The character was at the My Lai massacre, as was O'BRIEN, and they shared a need to be accepted which drove many of their actions in the war.
