Love beneath the Napalm is James D. Redwood’s collection of
deeply affecting stories about the enduring effects of colonialism
and the Vietnamese War over the course of a century on the
Vietnamese and the American and French foreigners who became
inextricably connected with their fate. These finely etched,
powerful tales span a wide array of settings, from the former
imperial capital of Hue at the end of the Nguyen Dynasty, to Hanoi
after the American pullout from Vietnam, the Chinese invasion of
Vietnam in 1979, contemporary San Francisco, and Schenectady, New
York. Redwood reveals the inner lives of the Vietnamese characters
and also shows how others appear through their eyes. Some of the
images and characters in Love beneath the Napalm—the look that
Mr. Tu's burned and scarred face always inflicts on strangers in
the title story; attorney and American Vietnam War–veteran
Carlton Griswold's complicated relationship with Mary Thuy in "The
Summer Associate"; Phan Van Toan's grief and desire, caught between
two worlds in "The Stamp Collector"—provide a haunting, vivid
portrayal of lives uprooted by conflict. Throughout, readers will
find moments that cut to the quick, exposing human resilience,
sorrow, joy, and the traumatic impact of war on all those who are
swept up in it.
