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 testament to the dreams and hardships of immigration. 650 0 $a Vietnamese $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Refugees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Immigrants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967712 650 7 $a Refugees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092797 650 7 $a Vietnamese. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01166629 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print reviewers' choice. 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20180719025228.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20170919013130.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20170726013601.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=57F00A5071CB11E7B218C9F0DAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
