AWARD-WINNING CO-AUTHORS
PEN OPEN BOOKS AWARD WINNER
PEN USA NONFICTION BOOK AWARD FINALIST
Ten short stories written by Lily Ho?agrave;ng and Vi Khi N?o explore a range of styles from love stories to speculative fiction and fairy tales.
In this inventive collaboration, Ho?ng and N?o blend Vietnamese, English, and Vietlish, creating a fresh, dynamic voice that captures the complexity of the Vietnamese-American experience. Their stories dive into themes of generational trauma, identity, and cultural clash, offering everything from love stories pieced together from memory, to folklore and fantasy, to post-apocalyptic worlds where Vietnamese-American identities are reimagined.
Timber and Lụa is playful, moving, and full of surprises. The authors experiment with language and translation, showing how meaning can shift and change between cultures. Released on the fiftieth anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, this collection is both a celebration of diasporic voices and a tribute to the power of storytelling across generations.
