Description
A rich spectrum of short stories from post-war Vietnam by new and established authors. A Lannan Literary Translation Series Selection. How does the literature of a society that has endured decades of war reflect the echoes of that violence to bodies and spirits while depiciting the ordinary lives of men and women who are searching, as all people do, for meaning for happiness, for normalcy, for love? Love After War presents the widest range to date of contemporary writers in Victnam, men and women who have become part of that country's established canon, as well as young and upcoming writers who have come of age in modern Vietnam. Their stories, published in the most widely read literary journals, magazines and newspapers in Vietnam, and many translated here for the first, reveal the relationships and concerns of everyday life, and the erosion and endurance of life in that country.
