Description

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'

Taken all together, these brief prose pieces have the scope of a fine novel." - Philadelphia Inquirer"
