{"product_id":"night-again-isbn-9781583227060","title":"Night, Again","description":"A couple's scheme to get rich by killing their father backfires, leaving them in charge of a cripple. In heaven, a baby, dead through neglect, tells his playmates: \"Life down there is just one long sleep.\" A young soldier, saved by a stranger, can never again find her to thank her. A man carries a massive clock. Using a variety of techniques and styles, in this collection of twelve short stories contemporary Vietnamese writers—edited by poet, short story writer, and novelist Linh Dinh—show us Vietnam through their own eyes. Night, Again breaks with the traditional views of the Vietnamese that have focused on the Vietnam War and turns our attention to postwar life in Vietnam. These writers present impressions--at once strange and familiar--of postwar realities.“Unsentimental and sensual, the stories in \u003ci\u003eNight, Again\u003c\/i\u003e are imbued with sly wit and haunting music. The range of style and subject matter is impressive. Out of the ruins of war, these living writers demonstrate their profound resilience, poetic vision, and luminous artistry.” \u003cb\u003e–Jessica Hagedorn\u003c\/b\u003eA recipient of a Pew Foundation grant, a David T.
