Interview with Tim O’Brien
Tim O’Brien once made the following assertion in an interview with Texas Monthly: “Good movies — and good novels, too — do not depend upon ‘accurate portrayals.’ Accuracy is irrelevant. Is the Mona Lisa an ‘accurate’ representation of the actual human model for the painting? Who knows? Who cares? It’s a great piece of art. It moves us. It makes us wonder, makes us gape; finally makes us look inward at ourselves.” (Texas Monthly, Nov. 2002. Qtd. In http://illyria.com/tobhp.html#Newsletter )
