A review by bagusayp
The Refugees by Viet Thanh Nguyen

5.0

This book contains 8 short stories, among those is one which is an autobiographical one. The book is such page turners that I enjoy reading it even though I’m not a refugee and had little contact with people who have been refugees. The stories explore many different things, varied from gay lives, the hardship of life for Vietnamese refugees in the US after the war ended, and also life in modern Vietnam for refugees who came back to Vietnam only recently. A great book indeed to spend time on weekends.
