520 1 Vietnam as if ... follows five young people who have moved
from the countryside to the city. Their dramatic everyday
lives illuminate some of the most pressing issues in
Vietnam today: 'The Sticky Rice Seller' explores gender
roles; 'The Ball Boy' is all about the struggles of sexual
and ethnic minorities; 'The Professional' examines
relations between rich and poor; 'The Goalkeeper' delves
into politics and ideology; and 'The Student' reflects
upon family and faith. The stories also reboot several
classics of Vietnamese literature for the twenty-first
century, including 'Floating Dumplings' by feminist poet
Ho Xuan Huong, Vu Trong Phung's satire of French
colonialism Dumb Luck, Nguyen Du's epic account of fate
and sacrifice 'The Tale of Kieu', and the proclamations of
Ho Chi Minh. These novellas reveal the deepest sentiments
of Vietnamese youth as they - like youth everywhere - come
of age, fall in love and contest their destiny. In 2011
Kim Huynh returned to Vietnam, having left more than three
decades earlier. He had few plans other than to experience
as much of his birthplace as possible. That year he came
into contact with a wide range of people and took on many
trades. Kim drank and dined with government officials,
went on pilgrimages with corporate tycoons and marched in
the streets against foreign aggression. He sold sticky
rice, was a tennis player and also a ball boy, attended
all manner of rituals and celebrations, eavesdropped on
people in cafés and restaurants, and went back to the
classroom as both a student and a teacher. Rich in detail
and broad in scope, these tales capture Kim's experiences
and imaginings of Vietnam as if ...
