Nguyen's next fiction book, The Refugees, is a collection of perfectly formed stories written over a period of twenty years, exploring questions of immigration, identity, love, and family. 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $t Two essays. $t The other man -- $t War years -- $t The transplant -- $t I'd love you to want me -- $t The Americans -- $t Someone else besides you -- $t Fatherland -- $t Two essays. 650 0 $a Vietnamese $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Refugees $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $x Fiction. 740 02 $a Black-eyed women. 740 02 $a Other man. 740 02 $a War years. 740 02 $a Transplant. 740 02 $a I'd love you to want me. 740 02 $a Americans. 740 02 $a Someone else besides you. 740 02 $a Fatherland. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Nguyen, Viet Thanh, 1971- $t Refugees. $b First hardcover edition. $d New York, NY : Grove Atlantic, 2017 $z 9780802189356 $w (DLC) 2017006256 941 $a 4 952 $l FTPA274 $d 20221101012553.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20180601010418.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20180227012659.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20180216010332.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0FA444F612E711E892CF485597128E48 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
