A Man of Two Faces: A Memoir, a History, a Memorial
For fans of Nguyen’s previous award-winning work, as well as readers interested in Vietnamese refugees and their history.
PREMIUM
For Nguyen groupies desperate for future titles, Refugees is a highly gratifying interlude. For short fiction fans of other extraordinary, between-culture collections such as Daniyal Mueenuddin's In Other Rooms, Other Wonders and Jhumpa Lahiri's Unaccustomed Earth, Nguyen won't disappoint. Either way, highly recommended. [See Prepub Alert, 8/8/16.]
