Meeting with Writer Nguyen Viet Ha
Wed 07 Jan 2015, 6 pm
L’Espace
From L’Espace:
In his short stories and novels, Nguyen Viet Ha has painted the portrait of Hanoi over the past two decades. With a unique style, his novels such as Cơ hội của Chúa (An opportunity for God), Khải huyền muộn (Late Revelation) or short stories such as Con giai phố cổ (Boys from the Old quarters), Đàn bà uống rượu (When women drink alcohol), Mặt của đàn ông (Face of the man), Nhà văn thì chơi với ai (Who hang out with writers?) trace the contemporary bustle but retain some aspects of the past. Who are Hanoians? Nguyen Viet Ha has been trying to identify them in the nowadays context of cultural identity.
Speaker: writer Nguyen Viet Ha, painter Le Thiet Cuong and journalist Uyen Ly
Language: Vietnamese
Free entrance.
