In a 1999 Gadfly interview with James Lindbloom titled “The Heart Under Stress” Tim O’Brien reflected on range of critical responses to this title, frequently seen as a departure for the writer: “…People don't talk in terms of critical responses; they just laugh, or they don't. They laughed, and that's what I wanted with the book. Essentially, you want books to generate not just intellectual but visceral or emotional responses. In this case, you gauge it by the laugh o meter, sort of like the Ted Mack Amateur Hour, where they had that little meter going. And, for a change, that's what I wanted to do with this book: to make people laugh at themselves, at the characters in the book, and at the human condition. So it was a good response.”.
