Jane knows her Vietnamese dad cant control his temper. Lost in a stupid daydream, she forgot to pick up her seven-year-old brother, Paul, from school. Inside their home, she hands her dad the stick he hits her with. This is how its always been. She deserves this. Not because she forgot to pick up Paul, but because at the end of the summer shes going to leave him when she goes away to college. As Paul retreats inward, Jane realizes she must explain where their dads anger comes from. The problem is, she doesnt quite understand it herself. N?ng, 1975. Phúc (pronounced /fo?ok/, rhymes with duke) is eleven the first time his mother walks him through a field of mines hes always been warned never to enter. Guided by cracks of moonlight, Phúc moves past fallen airplanes and battle debris to a refugee boat. But before the sun even has a chance to rise, more than half the people aboard will perish. This is only the beginning of Phúcs perilous journey across the Pacific, which will be fraught with Thai pirates, an unrelenting ocean, starvation, hallucination, and the unfortunate murder of a panda.Told in the alternating voices of Jane and Phúc, My Father, The Panda Killer is an unflinching story about war and its impact across multiple generations, and how one American teenager forges a path toward accepting her heritage and herself....1974444My Father, the Panda Killer184211https://www.gandhi.com.mx/my-father-the-panda-killer-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/703837/71d5ed34-6260-4353-9822-599959bf6951.jpg?v=638335872203200000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239780593642986_W3siaWQiOiI3ZGJhZDEyNC0wYWQ2LTRhNDktOThmMS04YjZhNDhlYmM0NGIiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIxMSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjI3LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE4NCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780593642986_A poignant coming-of-age story told in two alternating voices: a California teenager railing against the Vietnamese culture, juxtaposed with her father as an eleven-year-old boat person on a harrowing and traumatic refugee journey from Vietnam to the United States.San Jose, 1999.
