Praised for its documentary importance and literary brilliance when it was first published in 1996, this anthology has been updated with two new stories. It offers the unique opportunity to see the Vietnamese through their own eyes and surprises with its playfully ironic portraits. Not only are these stories, almost without exception, very strong on purely literary grounds, but they also provide an invaluable first-hand documentation of a society undergoing rapid changes.'' - Times Literary Supplement''
Including stories by Vietnam's most important novelists, Bao Nihn and Duong Thu Huong, a collection of thirteen contemporary short stories by writers--some of whom have been imprisoned for their writing--explores life under the decline of communism. Simultaneous. IP.
