I especially enjoyed the title choice because it does not only summerize the time between life and death but also the insertion of the novel by Dang Tho. The importance of this novel is crucial because it leads Charles to go back to Vietnam and try to reconcile his memories of the war. When he can't, and when he cannot understand why the novel moves him so much, he takes his life.
