About this ebook
When young Hao C. Tran left Vietnam in 1973 to study abroad, he had no idea it would be 20 years before he could return, or how much his native land would change in his absence. These are the stories of his exile, his return journeys, and his reconnections with long-lost family and friends, with a new Vietnam, and with himself.
Hao C. Tran
Hao C. Tran left Vietnam as a young man to go to college in Australia and later settled in the United States. Shortly after he left Saigon, the war ended and he couldn't return for 20 years. Since 1994, he has gone back to his homeland a dozen times, and many of his short stories are based on these journeys. Hao's stories are from the perspective of a Việt Kiều, a Vietnamese living overseas. He writes about his own experience as an immigrant, his family, the people he encountered in his travels, and the heart-breaking changes in a post-war Vietnam.
