Stunningly beautiful writing from the award-winning author of Night Sky with Exit Wound.
Told in a series of letters to his mother, Little Dog recounts their shared history as immigrants to Hartford, Connecticut, from Vietnam. The trauma of the war haunts Little Dog, his mother, and his grandmother. It shapes all of the movements they make during the protagonist's youth. His fraught relationship with his mother gives way to his telling of his self-discovery, of who he is and who is becoming.
Really, one of the best books of the year (2019).
