Finalist, National Book Critics Circle AwardFinalist, National Book Award in NonfictionA New York Times Book Review ``The Year in Reading`` SelectionAll wars are fought twice, the first time on the battlefield, the second time in memory. From the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Sympathizer comes a searching exploration of the conflict Americans call the Vietnam War and Vietnamese call the American War--a conflict that lives on in the collective memory of both nations.`` A] gorgeous, multifaceted examination of the war Americans call the Vietnam War--and which Vietnamese call the American War...As a writer,Nguyen] brings every conceivable gift--wisdom, wit, compassion, curiosity--to the impossible yet crucial work of arriving at what he calls a just memory of this war.``--Kate Tuttle, Los Angeles Times``In Nothing Ever Dies, his unusually thoughtful consideration of war, self-deception and forgiveness, Viet Thanh Nguyen penetrates deeply into memories of the Vietnamese war... An] important book, which hits hard at self-serving myths.``--Jonathan Mirsky, Literary Review``Ultimately, Nguyens lucid, arresting, and richly sourced inquiry, in the mode of Susan Sontag and W. G. Sebald, is a call for true and just stories of war and its perpetual legacy.``--Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review)
