Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai in conversation with Julie Stevenson
Dr. Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai, whose latest novel Dust Child was described as "rewarding…with a cinematic clarity" by Publishers Weekly, will be joined by literary agent Julie Stevenson for this conversation co-sponsored by the Portland chapter of Veterans for Peace. Dust Child, which is set during the Vietnam War and in present-day Vietnam, is the second novel by the internationally bestselling author—fans of Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko and Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing will dig its sweeping, reflective style.
