Abstract

A literary criticism of the book "Going After Cacciato" by Tim O'Brien is presented. Focus is given to the intentional shift of O'Brien to the benevolent perception of Asian women pre-Vietnam War. It examines the representation of Vietnamese women in the book as well as explores the American masculinity shown by the main character. An overview of the story is also given.
