“Most Anticipated Feminist Books of 2024” —Ms. MagazineA chronicle of the divergent journeys of a Vietnamese father, who fled his home country in desperation, and his American-born daughter, who ventured to Vietnam as an adult, capturing the stark contrast between their perspectives as they strive to heal the long-term wounds of war refugees.In this captivating, heartfelt dual memoir, Christina Vo and her father, Nghia M. Vo, delve into themes of their identity, heritage, and the tragic multi-generational ordeals of war, with intertwined stories that present a multifaceted portrayal of Vietnam and its profound influence on shaping both familial bonds and individual identities across time.Nghia M. Vo left Vietnam in April 1975 with only the clothes on his back, following the US withdrawal of troops and the fall of Saigon. After a harrowing two month journey, he found himself in a refugee camp outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania where he began the painful process of reconnecting with his family and rebuilding his life as a medical doctor. Christina Vo, Nghia’s daughter, grew up in the US. As a restless young adult, she felt a longing to connect with her heritage and soon moved to Hanoi in the former North Vietnam—much to her father's distress—to discover a country that had changed dramatically since the war, yet retained many of the ancient traits experienced by her ancestors.Captivating in its fluid movement and evocative depictions of place, My Vietnam, Your Vietnam offers readers a rich, multilayered exploration of Vietnam through two very distinct voices and perspectives. The memoir's exploration of healing the trauma suffered by war refugees and their families echoes far beyond the personal experience of the two authors, providing a path to discussion of reconciliation and hope. - E-bokEngelska, 2024

Fifty years after the end of the Vietnam War, literary voices of the Vietnamese-American diaspora as well as Vietnam-based authors speak to the experience of those who left and those who stayed inTHE COLORS OF APRIL, a collection of new short fiction curated by award-winning translators and editors Quan Manh Ha and Cab Tran. For much of the twentieth century, Vietnam played an outsized role on the global stage, charting the destinies of superpowers and reshaping the world's politics. Now fifty years after the end of the Vietnam War comes an anthology of fiction that finally speaks to the global Vietnamese experience: voices of both those who left and those who stayed, what was gained and lost in the half century since, andfor the generations that followedwhat it means to be Vietnamese. More than two dozen distinct literary voices are featured in this collection, includingViet Thanh Nguyen(Pulitzer Prize winner,The Sympathizer),Andrew Lam(PEN/Beyond Margins Award winner,Perfume Dreams),Barbara Tran(Lannan Foundation Award winner,In the Mynah Birds Own Words),Vu Tran(Whiting Award winner,Dragonfish) and many more. The stories are as diverse in style, tone, and subject matter as the ancestral lands of the Vietnamese people. From the rubble of the Ancient Citadel in Qung Tr to the makeshift orphanages outside Si Gn, from Palo Alto to a tony Lincoln Park apartment in Chicago, the narratives straddle continents and generations, the political as well as the personal. But what they share is much greater than their differences. They speak to a common language, to a culture steeped in history and myth and storytelling that vividly captures the enduring spirit of the Vietnamese people. EditorQuan Manh Hais Professor of English at the University of Montana and the co-translator ofOther Moons: Vietnamese Short Stories of the American War and Its Aftermath, among other titles. Co-editorCab Tranholds an MFA from University of Michigan's Helen Zell Writers' Program. His fiction and nonfiction have appeared inVagabond: Bulgaria's English Monthly,Black Warrior Review,The Iconoclast, and elsewhere. He teaches fiction for Gotham Writers Workshop.
