Short Stories

Linh Dinh

Authors: Linh Dinh
Print type: BOOK

Description:

"With nine stories set in the United States and twelve in Vietnam, Fake House explores the weird, atrocious, fond, and ongoing intimacies between these two countries. The politics of race and sex anchor these stories, as Dinh's characters try to make sense of life in a post-Vietnam War world, dignity here lies in the ways one faces the conflicts within, and those out in the world. Marginal souls in two cultures linked by a complicated past, the characters in Fake House are often driven by misdirected intensity and anger."--BOOK JACKET.
