Asian American Writers' Workshop. 227pp, excellent copy in paperback. Here, the most innovative contemporary Vietnamese-American writers explore thematic and stylistic territory previously overlooked in other collections, which have traditionally focused on the all-too-expected theme of war. "Watermark" lifts all constraints, leaving the works to reset the boundaries for themselves. And they do-using poetry, fiction, and experimental forms to venture further into the fringes of the Vietnamese-American psyche. There they find a dead dog and hockey puck, a frozen (literally) grandmother, a hairpiece, Gertrude Stein, and a stick of spearmint gum. Here fiction and poetry reflect and refract on adolescence, sexuality, language, death, and distance. The result is a sly, haunting, wry look at life anywhere. Author note: Barbara Tran was the recipient of a Cornell Woolrich scholarship at Columbia University, where she earned her M.F.A. Monique T. D. Truong is a writer and attorney in New York City. Luu Truong Khoi graduated from Harvard College and the Boston University Creative Writing Program. (When referring to this item please quote stockid 126898)
