Some of the stories border on novellas, and this allows the author, who was born in Vietnam in 1979, more latitude to develop the complexity of his characters as well as his twisted narrative strands... Consummately self-assured." And Library Journal said: "Born in Vietnam, Le was raised in Australia, where he trained as a lawyer, and came to the United States to attend the Iowa Writers' Workshop... Le writes rawly rigorous stories that capture entire worlds; each character is distinctive and fully fleshed out, each plot eventful as a full-length novel but artfully compressed. Highly recommended." Publishers Weekly concluded: "Taken together, the stories cover a vast geographic territory ... and are filled with exquisitely painful and raw moments of revelation..." | |
