What are some of the main ideas that O'Brien tries to convey in this article? How might these ideas help us read and understand O'Brien's novel, In the Lake of the Woods? As you begin reading the novel, In the Lake of the Woods, notice the instructions in the title/dedication pages: "Although this book contains material from the world in which we live, including references to actual places, people, and events, it must be read as a work of fiction."
