The Italy Letters - Vi Khi Nao

Descriere The Italy Letters - Vi Khi Nao

Vi Khi Nao's fictional language is full of magical slippages ... an esoteric sadness seeps up through surface deadpan and pizzazz. --Jonathan Lethem \nA cult-favorite writer weaves a mesmerizing epistolary tale of a sensual queer love affair set against the backdrop of Las Vegas' gritty underbelly. \n \nThe Italy Letters is a slim, powerful shot of literary fantasia from one of America's best-kept secrets. Long a cult favorite, visionary writer Vi Khi Nao weaves an unforgettable and highly distinctive story of a love affair suffused with longing, erotic passion, and heartbreak--all while painting a picture of the gritty underside of Las Vegas. \n \nThis beautiful and mesmerizing novel by a queer Vietnamese American writer is a brilliant and unclassifiable work of fiction that takes the form of a series of letters written by the unnamed narrator to her lover in Italy ... part of a stream-of-consciousness narrative that is by turns poignant, bawdy, funny, and disturbing--and often beautifully poetic. \n \nAlong the way, the story touches on the immigrant experience, LGBTQIA identity, social class, writing, betrayal, sex, and homesickness. The result is an authentically distinctive piece of writing from an underrated American writer on the cusp of wide acclaim.\n
