Of the twelve short stories appearing in iH N7897i at Midnighti, ten are appearing in English for the first time. Bringing to life the full range of B7843o Ninh's inventive and poetic language, Quan Manh Ha and Cab Tran are granting to English readers B7843o Ninh's first book-length work since iThe Sorrow of Wari. piH N7897i and Midnighti delineates the complex outpourings of war and the way it remakes our relation to each other. pB7843o Ninh's stories accentuate the gamut of human emotions nostalgia, anguish, desolation, melancholy, poignancy, and hope. His stories wistfully render pre-war H N7897i, its peaceful alleys and streets, its courteous residents, and the cozy atmosphere when family members, neighbors, and friends gather around a fire or converse in a coffee shop, as in H N7897i at Midnight and in Reminiscences. pJuxtaposed with this tranquility and geniality are the abandoned areas and defoliated forests occasioned by American bombardment and the American use of Agent Orange
