Publisher's Note
In a debut collection of short fiction, the Vietnam-born author explores the continuing intimacies and complex relationships that exist between the United States and Vietnam as he introduces a wide variety of characters who make their way through a post-Vietnam War world.

Industry Reviews
"Dinh, wielding an ironic, contemporary vernacular filled with scatological descriptions and violent images (not unlike visions created by the cartoonist Robert Crumb), possesses an existential angst that acknowledges, yet ceaselessly strives to transcend ethnic and cultural boundaries...Dinh is an ambitious writer whose stories, while bleak and devoid of a higher moral order, are strangely, entrenchedly humanistic. In the wake of renewed diplomatic and trade relations between the United States and Vietnam--which have resulted in blind optimism and unrestrained greed on the part of denizens from both countries--his fictional characters show that the Vietnam War's consequences linger on in more variegated, insidious contexts."
