I don't particularly like to read stories about war, even though these experiences are now a core part of Vietnamese history and heritage. I am glad I read this book though because each story was beautiful and poignant in its brevity. I hope Bao Ninh allows more of his works to be translated into English and that Vietnamese literature becomes more prominent in the English literary sphere.
