Vietnam has held a spot on the world stage for the last 60 years and continues to be a magnet for the literary imagination. Three novelists whose lives have taken them to Vietnam―to research, to learn or to fight―write those experiences into fiction, with astounding results. Adam Lewis Schroeder begins in French-occupied Indochina and weaves a generational search for identity, while Vietnam vet Karl Marlantes tells a rugged tale of young American Marines, dropped into the jungles, who must fight not only an elusive enemy but also leeches, monsoons and the reality of war itself. Camilla Gibb’s story is set in contemporary Vietnam, a country undergoing such momentous change, even its tour guides wonder what the world is really seeing of their life and their past.
