It tells of Vietnam, of the lasting impact of war, and of his family`s struggle to forge a new future. And it serves as a doorway into parts of Little Dog`s life his mother has never known – episodes of bewilderment, fear and passion – all the while moving closer to an unforgettable revelation.`A masterpiece` MAX PORTER `Luminous, shattering, urgent, necessary` CELESTE NG `Deeply moving… Little Dog`s story is the story of modern America` Daily Telegraph `Vuong has originality running through his veins`The TimesSHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE 2020FINALIST FOR THE PEN/FAULKNER AWARD 2020
