Synopsis
The reunion of a group of friends from the '60s spurs the events of Tim O'Brien's eighth novel, which contrasts their lives in the present with their more colorful pasts, interweaving their stories into a mosaic of the last quarter of the 20th century. The group includes a femme fatale seeking a third husband, a female cleric, a cancer survivor, and a Vietnam vet still struggling with his experiences there and the disappointments of his life since. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.

Industry Reviews
"[I]nvolving and beautifully written....Once again, O'Brien proves he's capable of being one of our brightest and best novelists."
Kirkus Reviews (07/15/2002)
"Probably only a Tolstoy...could have done much with the crashingly trite premise of JULY, JULY: the 30th-anniversary reunion of the college class of 1969, the heart of the heart of the baby boom generation....with about 10 main characters, a 30-year time span and only 300-odd pages, you wouldn't think O'Brien could afford to waste a word. Yet his people prattle on as if they had all the space and time in the world."
