A must read for any “ethnic” writer who is in the process of choosing subject matter.

I think he's a good writer, and a good person to speak about writing. Most reviewers tend to look at 'narrative voice', but I prefer his economy of style. Having read his collection of short stories, I don't think of Nam Le as a 'Vietnamese' writer, though personally, having lived in a Vietnamese part of Melbourne, I would welcome any writer who would be willing to tell a story for the many migrants who have settled here. In any case, keep up the good work. I read Nam’s book, and heard his interview on Against the Grain. I think he’s a good writer, and a good person to speak about writing.
