Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of short stories by one of the most highly regarded Vietnamese/American writers whose work explores the strange, atrocious, fond, and ongoing intimacies between Vietnam and the United States. The stories delve into the lives of marginal souls living in two distinct cultures. Anchored by the politics of race and sex, both the Vietnamese and American characters negotiate their way in a post-Vietnam War world. Linked by a complicated past and driven by an intense and angry energy, they give an extraordinary vitality to this remarkable and insightful collection.
