In The Refugees, Viet Thanh Nguyen gives voice to lives led between
two worlds, the adopted homeland and the country of birth. From a
young Vietnamese refugee who suffers profound culture shock when he
comes to live with two gay men in San Francisco, to a woman whose
husband is suffering from dementia and starts to confuse her for a
former lover, to a girl living in Ho Chi Minh City whose older
half-sister comes back from America having seemingly accomplished
everything she never will, the stories are a captivating testament
to the dreams and hardships of immigration. The second piece of
fiction by a major new voice, The Refugees is a beautifully written
and sharply observed book about the aspirations of those who leave
one country for another, and the relationships and desires for
self-fulfillment that define our lives.
