Last call to celebrate our issue “Untethered States: Literature of the Vietnamese Diaspora” at our virtual launch TONIGHT featuring readers, writers, translators, and critics from the issue @phuonganh.bsky.social ! Make sure to RSVP at the link:
In “Calculations” by Thuận (tr. @phuonganh.bsky.social ), a young woman leaves her studies in France to return to Vietnam, despite her father’s disapproval. wordswithoutborders.org/read/article... (5)
A tree-lined path with the text “'Calculations' By Thuận, translated from Vietnamese by Phương Anh” and the quote “It was a rare thing to hear the word noble come out of Father’s mouth.”
The text “'Calculations' By Thuận, translated from Vietnamese by Phương Anh” and the quote “It had not been permitted as part of his vocabulary ever since his return to the home country. As time passed, he simply forgot it existed. Later on, Father would latch on to the adjective ‘different,’ a word that, while vague, was like a reflection of his unavowed dream: my sister and I must have a different education. From a young age, we had been told about a different world, one that existed beyond this S-shaped land of ours.”
The text “'Calculations': Read the rest of the story at the link, and subscribe to our newsletter for more pieces from our new issue ‘Untethered States: Literature of the Vietnamese Diaspora.’ http://wordswithoutborders.org”
We’re continuing our Vietnamese diaspora issue with this novel excerpt by Thuận. A woman weighs abandoning her studies in France to return to Vietnam, undermining her father’s plan for her career and life. Read "Calculations" (tr. @phuonganh.bsky.social ): buff.ly/tbCsBLd
