Récit de la vie d'une famille vietnamienne dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, à travers la recherche d'un père inconnu. L'auteur présente ainsi des facettes méconnues de l'histoire de son pays. ©Electre 2025
Unknown Father is the English version of the book De Père Inconnu by the same author, and published by L'Harmattan in 2015, with a second edition in 2016. Like the Vietnamese version Cha Vô Danh, also published by L'Harmattan in 2019, this English version is not a literal translation of the French version, but a rewriting by the author himself for an English- speaking audience.
« I was spellbound both by the content and by the writing style. This book looks deeply into the lives of Vietnamese as well as into the soul of Vietnam as a country.
A unique mix of biography, culture, history, and politics, it is important reading for a variety of American and of other English-speaking audiences. It would be very interesting for younger ethnic Vietnamese descended from the diaspora, especially as the Fall of Saigon nears its 50th anniversary. »
