Nguoi La Nguoi Quen [Vietnamese]

By Dang Mai Lan

Manifested in each article is the universal empathy toward people, whether it's the refugee girl, a complete stranger, stranded in the jungle of Northern France, or her own father, someone who is dearly held by her heart. It's her feeling expressed by words toward her beloved country, a country that was torn apart by wars and poverty. Dang Mai Lan, a well-known short-story writer within the Vietnamese diasporas, surprises the readers with this collection of essays, that is both pleasing and refreshing to read. In Nguoi la nguoi quen (literally, Strangers and Friends), one also finds amusing stories and anecdotes about some of her "literature" friends, many of whom are famous Vietnamese writers and poets. Always possessing a warm tone, her writing somehow persuades the readers to enter her world, a world full of scattering but closely related pieces of what we would call life. - Van Hoc Press
