With the coruscating gaze that informed The Sympathizer, 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 in American letters, 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.

1. Without much background about tue communist history in saigung, it is hard to underatand the stories (Seems abit one-sided abt the impacts and more from the angle of young ppl) 2. Without of a strong bind between the stories
评分An uneven collection. Some of the stories are quite good, but others are not.
评分這個集子還是比較參差的
评分短篇集。
评分竟然對這個70後描寫的長輩們的感慨心靈相通。
