Le Minh Khue: The Stars, the Earth, the River, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This collection of 14 stories--each a harrowing sketch of the Vietnam War and its aftermath--offers American readers a glimpse of familiar territory, but from an unfamiliar perspective. Often writing from a young woman's point of view, Le Minh Khue, a war veteran who served in the Youth Volunteers Brigade, uses simple, understated prose to describe numbing horrors. Her stories explore themes such as love and war, the tangles of family relationships, and the complexities of post-war life. Khue gives readers a look into Vietnam before, during, and after the war with the United States.
