48 Years After the End of the Vietnam War: A Continued Conversation About Empathy & Healing
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join us at OACC for a powerful author talk and reading with author Nguyen Phan Que Mai and her new novel, Dust Child. Author Thi Bui will moderate a discussion with Que Mai about intergenerational trauma, racism, the cost of war, and healing and reconciliation among the Vietnamese community and between Vietnam and the United States.
"Scenes of past and present Viet Nam come alive in these pages, drawing you into the lives of a handful of characters who become like your family, and in whose stories lies the heartbreaking story of Viet Nam's complicated relationship with America. With her generous heart and unmatched ability to write across languages and cultures, Que Mai is the perfect guide for the wounded who search for home and healing." -Thi Bui, American Book Award-winning author of The Best We Could Do and illustrator of Finding Papa.
Eastwind Books of Berkeley will be vending at the event and will have copies of Que Mai and Thi's books available for purchase. The authors will be available to sign and personalize books for readers at the end of the event. Pre-order Dust Child using the code DVAN10, and Eastwind Books will generously donate 10% of title books sales to DVAN's publishing series to publish books about the Vietnamese experience in order to fight against invisibility and misrepresentation.
