I'm not surprised THE COMMITTED by @viet_t_nguyen made it to @esquire list of best books of 2021 (so far). "Like The Sympathizer, The Committed rewards repeated reading, deepening with each read from a noirish literary thriller into an elegant treatise on colonialism & identity." https://t.co/2AgiFhr9gP

THE FORTUNES OF JADED WOMEN is a hilarious while serious, exhilarating yet moving novel about a family of kickass Vietnamese American women who fearlessly pursue their happiness and healing, even when their fortunes were cursed.

What did it take to write about the many children, wome & men whose lives were torn apart by Vietnam War? I shared my honest thoughts in an interviewed with @BobKustra for @ReadersCornerBK. Thanks Bob! @AlgonquinBooks @BetsyGleick https://t.co/IoFIcHhzJE

My literary hero, Viet Thanh Nguyen just posted this about his Pulitze-Prize winning novel, THE SYMPATHIZER😂. Viet Thanh Nguyen is not only a brilliant writer, he surely has a good sense of humor that all writers need😅 https://t.co/QfGbkQZpmj

DUST CHILD is an act of decolonization and it has just received a STARRED REVIEW from LIBRARY JOURNAL: "Achingly honest and ultimately hopeful; essential reading for U.S. audiences." 😭 Grateful thanks to @BarbaraHoffert and many people who have stood by me. https://t.co/hiXYIFFXOS

Loved Ocean Vuong's @ocean_vuong new book of poetry. His voice is so important, so new, so thought-provoking. "How else do we return to ourselves but to fold The page so it points to the good part"
