Listen to the Podcast here: Viet Thanh Nguyen rewrites our narrative of war stories
For Viet Thanh Nguyen, wars happen both on the battlefield and again in memory. The Pulitzer Prize-winning writer speaks with Chattopadhyay about the profound impact war has had on his own life, and how our selective remembrance and the people we forget shape our national narratives. His new memoir, A Man of Two Faces, weaves together his views on contemporary life, his family’s refugee origin story, and the myth and legacy of America.
