Hanoi at Midnight

After a thirty-year hiatus, B o Ninh, a prominent Vietnamese war chronicler, presents a new collection of ten stories, marking his first book-length work since The Sorrow of War. Written in a rich and poetic style, these stories offer English readers a glimpse into Ninh's inventive language and profound insights, reflecting his experiences from the war he joined at age 17. This publication, translated by Quan Manh Ha and Cab Tran, introduces a significant voice in literature that was previously banned in Vietnam until 2006.
