In the novel The Things They Carried‚ author Tim O’Brien offers the “happy ending” described by Fay Weldon through his own “spiritual reassessment and moral reconciliation.” While the novel itself is not a series of happy memories or events‚ the telling of them allows the author to come to terms with the loss of his innocence and his own limitations.
