With the coruscating gaze that informed The Sympathizer, in The Refugees Viet Thanh Nguyen gives voice to lives led between two worlds, the adopted homeland and the country of birth. From a young Vietnamese refugee who suffers profound culture shock when he comes to live with two gay men in San Francisco, to a woman whose husband is suffering from dementia and starts to confuse her for a former lover, to a girl living in Ho Chi Minh City whose older half-sister comes back from America having seemingly accomplished everything she never will, the stories are a captivating testament to the dreams and hardships of immigration. The second piece of fiction by a major new voice in American letters, The Refugees is a beautifully written and sharply observed book about the aspirations of those who leave one country for another, and the relationships and desires for self-fulfillment that define our lives.
1. Without much background about tue communist history in saigung, it is hard to underatand the stories (Seems abit one-sided abt the impacts and more from the angle of young ppl) 2. Without of a strong bind between the stories
评分美籍越南裔作者写的与越南有关的故事,可读起来就像美籍华裔作家写的一样。我有点惊讶,我们跟越南的相似度,超乎我想象。
评分短篇集。
评分有一种”独在家乡为异客“的尴尬与孤独。很适合川普时期慢慢研读的一本小说集。
评分immigrants. American dreams.
