Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A brilliant first collection of the work of frequent NPR contributor, journalist, and Pacific News Service Editor Andrew Lam. He uses his work over the last two decades to explore his life as an American and to return to his Vietnamese heritage.

His insights point out the unique situation of today and what it is like to go home.
