Title: The Other Side of Heaven:
Description:
Post-war Fiction by Vietnamese and American Writers
One of the first American books since the end of the war to include writing by
contemporary Vietnamese authors, The Other Side of Heaven is something of a sampler
of good writing from Vietnam. It also includes work from American writers who have
written about that period in American history, including Tim O’Brien, Wayne Karlin,
Robert Olen Butler, and Bobbie Ann Mason.
Title: Night, Again: Contemporary Fiction from Vietnam
Edited by Linh Dinh
Description:
A wonderful collection of writing by some of Vietnam’s best contemporary writers. Linh
has a quirky taste for fiction and he’s picked some of the edgiest work to come out of the
country today. Highlights include Nguyen Huy Thiep’s “Without a King” and “Nine
Down Makes Ten” by Pham Thi Hoai.
Title: Vietnam: A Traveller’s Literary Companion
Edited by John Balaban and Nguyen Qui Duc
Description:
This collection, put together specifically with the traveller in mind, offers a vivid portrait
of Vietnam, from the hectic life of Ho Chi Minh City in the South to the rural villages of
the Red River Delta in the North. Highlights include Pham Thi Hoai’s hilarious andsurprisingly moving “The Saigon Tailor Shop” and Nguyen Huy Thiep’s “Remembrance
of the Countryside.”

Books on Vietnam : Fiction - Short Stories
Titles available in English
By various Vietnamese / American Authors
Book Category: Fiction: Short Stories
Title: The Stars, The Earth, The River
By Le Minh Khue
Description:
I translated this book, along with Bac Hoai Tran, so I’m partial to it, but I’m not alone
among its fans. This story collection contains work by one of Vietnam’s leading fiction
writers, some of which date back to the war years and others of which were written more
recently. The early stories, particularly the charming “The Distant Stars,” are quite
romantic in their view of wartime Vietnam. Later stories show a sharp change in tone, as
Khue reveals the disappointments of the post-war era. Sarcastic, bitingly funny, and often
full of pathos, Khue’s stories present Vietnam today in all its richness and complexity.
Title: Fake House
By Linh Dinh
Description:
This collection of stories by Vietnamese-American prize-winning poet Linh Dinh offer
an acerbic, insightful look at life among Vietnamese immigrants in the United States.
Kirkus reviews noted the stories’ “vividly imagined characters” and the author Jessica
Hagedorn called Linh “a unique voice in contemporary American literature.”Crossing the River:
Title: Short Fiction by Nguyen Huy Thiep
By Nguyen Huy Thiep
Description:
This collection, which I edited with Nguyen Nguyet Cam, is the most comprehensive
edition ever published in English of work by Thiep, acclaimed as Vietnam’s most
provocative and controversial contemporary writer. Widely diverse in form as well as
content, these stories offer a broad and complicated view of Vietnam, from the eerie
mountain villages of the Thai and Muong minority people to the stark and brutal lives of
rural farmers to the cut-throat existence of city dwellers who will do anything to get by. If
you’re really interested in understanding Vietnam, you have to read Thiep.
Title:The Things They Carried
By Tim O’Brien
Description:
Maybe the most wrenching, heartbreaking account of war, ever. O’Brien writes so
beautifully that you almost forget how horrifying his story is. Also, try Going After
Cacciato.
Title:We Should Never Meet: Stories
by Aimee Phan
Description:
In this series of lively, often gripping interlocking stories, Vietnamese-American Phan
explores the peculiar experience of the Vietnamese children, now adults, who were
brought over on Operation Babylift, the U.S.-led effort to evacuate them from war-torn
Saigon and place them with adoptive families overseas.

The Other Side of Midnight: The Fundamental Principle of Polarity.
Original Title in English
By Author: Dillon Masters
About the Book:
“The Other Side…” tells how the principle of polarity, when correctly understood, can transform our sense of conflict into harmony and show us how to solve the many problems we face today. This vision moves us from delusion to clarity and provides us with the means to meet our challenges with respect, dignity and truth. Moving from bad dreams (our present reality) to good dreams (our opportunity) is a matter of waking up to the integral nature of connectivity between ubiquitous polarity, regardless of venue ⎯ physical or metaphysical. While primarily a Zen thesis, the author employs material from Christian mystics, other Buddhists and even quantum physics to state his case. Read More
About the Author:
Dillon Masters was born in 1940 and cut his Zen teeth 30 years ago while living in a Zen Monastery in the Catskill mountains of upstate New York. It was there at Dai Bosatsu that he awakened to the Buddhist understanding of reality following a major spiritual and emotional crisis which brought him to the edge of death. More details
