1. The Sorrow Of War
The book is a poignant tale about a North Vietnamese soldier, Kien, and his experiences during and after the Vietnam War. It's a graphic and emotional exploration of the traumas of war, the loss of innocence, and the struggle to make sense of life post-conflict. The narrative is non-linear, shifting between his horrific war experiences, his post-war life in Hanoi, and his attempt to come to terms with his past. The novel also highlights the broader societal impact of the war, particularly on the Vietnamese people.
