To illuminate those shadows, Quan Manh Ha and Quynh H. Vo have brought into English the first anthology of its kind, featuring twenty-two contemporary stories written by Vietnamese women whose narratives make visible the multitudinous lives of Vietnamese women over the last two decades.</p><p>All the stories in <em>Longings</em> appear in English for the first time, inviting new readers to appreciate the <em>Longings</em> or aspirations of Vietnamese women as they have had to face suffering and struggle, hope and despair, sorrow and joy, while navigating an uncharted course through the social and economic waves that have lifted or lowered their lives since the USVietnam normalization in the mid-1990s.</p><p>The wife in Da Ngans The Innermost Feelings of White Pillows suppresses sexual frustration at her husbands impotence by stuffing her pillows with new fibers. The rural women in Tran Thuy Mais Green Plums have no choice but to become prostitutes to earn a living. The mother in Pham Thi Phong Dieps Mother and Son demonstrates an unconditional sacrifice and ineffable love for her adopted son despite his insolence and ingratitude. A woman in Nguyen Thi Chau Giangs Late Moon violates all prescribed gender norms in order to live freely.</p><p><em>Longings</em> brings together stories by both well-established and emerging Vietnamese writers, those who come from various regions in Vietnam and represent the diversity and richness in Vietnamese short fiction. This anthology expands the audience for deserving authors and broadens perspective on the heterogeneous voices, narrative styles, and thematic interests of women who contribute to the growing corpus of contemporary Vietnamese short fiction.</p>...4585283Longings193193https://www.gandhi.com.mx/longings-9781682832073/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4394434/image.jpg?v=638744252714200000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781682832073_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9781682832073_<p>While mainstream Vietnamese history chronicles a few woman warriors of the past and some contemporary female activists, Vietnamese women always have performed their roles in the quiet shadows of men.
