<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Drawing on O'Brien's experience of cancer and of childhood abuse, and on his ongoing collaboration with a war reporter, the four essays in <i>A Story that Happens</i>--first written as craft lectures for the Sewanee Writers' Conference and the US Air Force Academy--offer hard-won insights into what stories are for and the reasons why, afraid and hopeful, we begin to tell them.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This is a book for our times. It reminds us that theatre is 'fractured and failing yet struggling towards the mouth's translation of the heart's tongue.' Like [O'Brien], we buzz with the desire for the 'chance for more life, and for that most valued of theatrical currencies--change'.--Alice Jolly, <i>Times Literary Supplement</i> <p/>Part memoir, part philosophy, part pragmatic advice for young writers, [these essays] read like a master class in surviving through art.--<i>Los Angeles Times</i> All the essays were written during the tumultuous Trump years, a period of bombastic rage, where the truth was not only clouded but disrespected . . . O'Brien does an unforgettable job accompanying the reader through the prism of his life experiences, offering more than mere lessons. --Jonas Schwartz-Owen, <i>Broadway World</i><br>
