The Vietnamese-born author's novels have garnered literary prize recognition and been translated from French into twenty-nine languages in nearly forty countries. Touching Beauty is the first collection to focus solely on Thúy and her economical yet poetic storytelling style that expresses both the traumatic and the beautiful. Her writings, which manage to be culturally specific all while speaking to the fundamentals of the human condition, are examined within the context of what is known as "migrant literature" in Canada and are situated within the history of Vietnamese literature in French that grew out of the colonial period. Chapters explore food, identity, gender, and the role of writing in Thúy's life and work. Thúy herself contributes an unpublished poem and extended interview that focus on her ongoing struggle to find, and write, beauty amidst war, migration, poverty, and loss. Touching Beauty maps the themes that have, to date, animated a literary career of global relevance and enduring value and encourages a deeper appreciation of Thúy's writing."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 189-203) and index. 600 10 $a ThuÌy, Kim $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a ThuÌy, Kim $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJqVVVFRDBDQBKjGt6w6Kd $0 (OCoLC)fst01794422 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 776 08 $i Online version: $t Touching beauty. $d Montreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2023 $z 9780228018261 $z 9780228018261 $w (OCoLC)1359610548 700 1 $a Santoro, MileÌna, $d 1965- $e editor. $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjJJ8DjRP3tpB8MPFygTh3 700 1 $a Yeager, Jack Andrew, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011804.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5747AA96CD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
