«The Nuclear Age» is the literary novel by Tim O'Brien, published by Penguin Publishing Group in paperback (320 pages, in English).
In «The Nuclear Age», William Cowling tries in 1995 to confront his fear of nuclear apocalypse by digging a hole in his garden to bury those thoughts; his wife is about to leave him, his daughter calls him «nutto» and his turbulent past resurfaces, in a story of surreal humour and reflection on the human condition.
The work was originally published in 1985; this paperback edition is from December 1996.
It is a work recommended for those seeking literary fiction with black humour and reflection on nuclear anxiety.
Tim O'Brien is an American novelist who served as a soldier in the Vietnam War. Much of his writing is about wartime Vietnam, and his work later in life often explores the postwar lives of its veterans.
