Аннотация:

A striking collection of novellas, this new edition—now with an introduction by the authors—arrives when the Vietnamese diaspora of writers is a more visible one (Viet Nguyen, Ocean Vuong, Nguyen Phan Que Mai, Monique Truong, and more) Reissued in a year celebrating this diaspora with Ocean Vuong's new novel (PRH) and Nguyen Phan Que Mai's latest (Algonquin) Advance blurb expected from Rick Simonson of Elliott Bay Book Company (one of Dao's most ardent fans) Author lives in Portland and we will be doing local events in the Pacific Northwest in conjunction with diasporic women writers group, She Who Has No Master(s), White Noise Reading Series (Portland, OR), Mutter Courage Reading Series (Seattle, WA) Portland Book Festival, Litquake, Wordplay Bookseller Praise: «For all the anticipation of new titles that come with a season, there is also the pleasure in anticipating the return of a book that first came out thirteen years ago and then disappeared for reasons having nothing to do with the book's many merits. This most welcome reissue of four fictional pieces follows people in their early twenties finding their way into more fully adult lives, at least one in each story marked in some way by having come from Vietnam as a refugee. It brings a distinct narrative voice to affection and disaffection to the fore. It works subtly but powerfully, along with the other elements of nuance and knowing. We are very glad to see this book back.» —Rick Simonson, The Elliott Bay Book Company (Seattle, WA)
