“Night, Again is fresh, invigorating work. Taken all together, these brief prose pieces have the scope of a fine novel.”â€"The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Not only are these stories, almost without exception, very strong on purely literary grounds, but they also provide an invaluable firsthand documentation of a society undergoing rapid change.”â€"The Times Literary Supplement

“Unsentimental and sensual, the stories in Night, Again 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.”â€"Jessica Hagedorn

“Carefully chosen stories from writers whose styles and subject matter exhibit real range. . . . [T]hese pieces suggest a nuanced and decidedly polyvalent view of Vietnam.”â€"A. Magazine

“A forceful and stunning compendium by a talented editor, Night, Again is unquestionably one of the finest literary entries in years from the new Asia and is essential for modern Asia-Pacific collections.”â€"Choice

Praised for its documentary importance and literary brilliance when it was first published in 1996 and now updated with two new stories, Night, Again offers us the unique opportunity to see the Vietnamese through their own eyes and surprises us with its playfully ironic portraits.
