Hanoi at Midnight: Stories by Quan Manh Ha (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Hanoi at Midnight by Quan Manh Ha, Cab Tran, Bảo Ninh Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The first English translation of several short stories by Bao Ninh, arguably the most famous writer in Vietnam. Publisher Description Of the twelve short stories appearing in Hà Ni at Midnight, ten are appearing in English for the first time. Bringing to life the full range of Bo Ninhs inventive and poetic language, Quan Manh Ha and Cab Tran are granting to English readers Bo Ninhs first book-length work since The Sorrow of War.Hà Ni and Midnight delineates the complex outpourings of war and the way it remakes our relation to each other.Bo Ninhs stories accentuate the gamut of human emotions: nostalgia, anguish, desolation, melancholy, poignancy, and hope. His stories wistfully render pre-war Hà Ni, its peaceful alleys and streets, its courteous residents, and the cozy atmosphere when family members, neighbors, and friends gather around a fire or converse in a coffee shop, as in "Hà Ni at Midnight" and in "Reminiscences."Juxtaposed with this tranquility and geniality are the abandoned areas and defoliated forests occasioned by American bombardment and the American use of Agent Orange, as in "An Unnamed Star" and "A Farewell to a Soldiers Life." Images of polluted rivers and streams, the war-torn sky, the pungent air filled with the stench of decomposing human corpses, and the deafening roar of helicopters and bombers hovering in the gloomy sky dominate the settings of Bo Ninhs stories.Intertwined with these horrific images are human tears shed during farewell ceremonies, when recruits are separated from their loved ones, when parents live in anxiety and hope at home while their children are fighting in a war in remote regions, and when soldiers bury their comrades and burden themselves with their fallen comrades unfulfilled wishes.
