    Abstract: "All wars are fought twice, the first time on the battlefield, the second time in memory. Exploring how this troubled memory works in Vietnam, the United States, Laos, Cambodia, and South Korea, the book deals specifically with the Vietnam War and also war in general. He reveals how war is a part of our identity, as individuals and as citizens of nations armed to the teeth. Venturing through literature, film, monuments, memorials, museums, and landscapes of the Vietnam War, he argues that an alternative to nationalism and war exists in art, created by artists who adhere to no nation but the imagination."--Provided by publisher

    Abstract: Der Schriftsteller Lafcadio Hearn (1850 – 1904), als Sohn einer Griechin und eines Iren auf Lefkas geboren und bei Verwandten in England aufgewachsen, wurde als junger Mann mittellos nach Amerika geschickt. Dort wurde er Journalist und Autor, in Cincinnati und New Orleans, später in New York, dazwischen lebte er länger auf den französischen Antillen. Früh begann er sich für Japan zu interessieren, wohin er 1890 reiste, um nicht mehr zurückzukehren. Er nahm sogar einen japanischen Namen an und heiratete die Tochter eines Samurai. Seine Bücher über Japan hatten einen großen Einfluss auf das Bild Japans im Westen. Monique Truong, die bislang zwei Romane vorgelegt hat, schreibt seit vielen Jahren an einem Roman über Hearn. Sie schätzt vor allem sein journalistisches Werk und hat eine Auswahl seiner besten Reportagen vorgenommen. Einige Texte erscheinen hier zum ersten Mal auf Deutsch. Ein großer Autor ist mit faszinierenden Arbeiten wiederzuentdecken, hellsichtig, voll feiner Beobachtungen und Empathie.

    Abstract: Follows a Viet Cong agent as he spies on a South Vietnamese army general and his compatriots as they start a new life in 1975 Los Angeles. A profound, startling, and beautifully crafted debut novel, The Sympathizer is the story of a man of two minds, someone whose political beliefs clash with his individual loyalties. It is April 1975, and Saigon is in chaos. At his villa, a general of the South Vietnamese army is drinking whiskey and, with the help of his trusted captain, drawing up a list of those who will be given passage aboard the last flights out of the country. The general and his compatriots start a new life in Los Angeles, unaware that one among their number, the captain, is secretly observing and reporting on the group to a higher-up in the Viet Cong. The Sympathizer is the story of this captain: a man brought up by an absent French father and a poor Vietnamese mother, a man who went to university in America, but returned to Vietnam to fight for the Communist cause. A gripping spy novel, an astute exploration of extreme politics, and a moving love story, The Sympathizer explores a life between two worlds and examines the legacy of the Vietnam War in literature, film, and the wars we fight today.
