Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This collection comprises 9 short stories and 1 novella. All are imaginative and most examine the struggles of the postwar generation in Vietnam. There is a Kafkaesque quality to some of the stories and the novella is especially interesting. Worth a read.
