“A Man of Two Faces”: Author Viet Thanh Nguyen on New Memoir, U.S. Imperialism, Vietnam & More
We are joined by the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen to discuss his new book, _A Man of Two Faces: A Memoir, a History, a Memorial._ Last week the 92NY, a major cultural institution in New York City, canceled an event with Nguyen after he joined 750 writers in signing an open letter calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. His memoir explores his family’s personal history as refugees from Vietnam dealing with the impacts of U.S. imperialism. “Civilian stories are war stories, too,“ says Nguyen. He says the U.S.’s greatest acts of anti-Asian violence occur internationally and continue today. “I see total continuity between what the United States has done in the Philippines, in Korea, in Japan, in Laos, in Cambodia, in Vietnam and now with Palestine.“
