Seller's Description:
Very good. 199, [1] pages. Reading Guide Questions. Cover has small corner crease at back cover. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Angie Chau was born in Vietnam. She has also lived in Malaysia, Italy, Spain, Hawaii, and currently resides in California. She earned a BA in Southeast Asian Culture and Political Economy (ISF) from the University of California, Berkeley and a Master's degree in English with a Creative Writing emphasis from the University of California, Davis, where she was the fiction editor for The Greenbelt Review. She has been awarded a Hedgebrook Residency, an Anderson Center Residency, and a Macondo Foundation Fellowship. Her work has appeared in the Indiana Review, Santa Clara Review, Night Train Magazine, and the most recent Heyday Books anthology, New California Writing. In 2009 she won the UC Davis Maurice Prize in Fiction. Released by IG Publishing in 2010, Quiet As They Come was a Finalist in First Fiction for The California Book Award and a Finalist in Fiction for the Northern California Independent Booksellers' Award. The San Francisco Chronicle described Chau's debut collection as "a powerful mix of tragedy and kindness, of miscommunications and all-too-painful empathy, which bound together are a resonating homage to many an immigrant." She is a member of The San Francisco Writers' Grotto and DVAN. In her spare time she enjoys cooking, eating with friends, surfing and swimming. She will always stop and drop everything for a good story. She is at work on a novel. In Quiet As They Come, Angie Chau makes her Vietnamese characters come alive in all eleven brilliant stories. I shed tears for the pain in each story, especially when a well-meaning, hardworking Vietnamese got brutalized or crushed by the weight of pursuing the American Dream. Every Vietnam veteran should read this beautiful and brutal collection of stories about the struggles of Vietnamese in America-folks we called Boat People, the people some of us called "gooks" or worse when we were stomping our big American feet on them and their culture during the American War in Vietnam where we were assigned to win their hearts and minds while we were stopping the spread of communism.
