Paperback. Zustand: Good. The daring and controversial novel that took the world by storm--a story of politics, selfhood, survival, and war. Heart-wrenching, fragmented, raw, former North Vietnamese solder Bao Ninh's The Sorrow of War provides a strikingly honest look at how the Vietnam War forever changed his life, his country, and the people who live there. Kien, a lone survivor from the Glorious 27th Youth brigade of the Vietcong, revisits the haunting sites of battles and relives a parade of horrors, as he grapples with his ghosts, his alcoholism and attempts to arrange his life in writing.

THEWARIN Vietnam has berned ist brand sodeep in film and fiction that it seemend there was nothing new to say about that bitter confliet. But, a handful of propaganda films apart, the voice of North Vietnam has been silent, Until now. This extraordinary novel opens with Kien, an infantry cadre from Hanoi, engaged in the grim business of retrieving and burying the dead at the scene of one of the bloodiest battles of the war. From this macabre scene, the novel ranges back to Kiens youth and the pains of adolescent love, and forwrds tho his attempts, as a struggling writer in post-was Hanoi, to come to grips with his memories of the savageries of his corrosive war, to make sense of death, of love, of loss, oh his own survival.
