About "Mỹ Documents"

"Mỹ Documents" offers a striking commentary on the profound personal impact of political upheaval and tangles with the ethics of journalism and the uncomfortable boundaries of representation and solidarity within a community. Ultimately, this is a story of resilience and how we return to each other—and to ourselves—after tragedy. Nguyen deftly channels the uncanny worlds and emotional heft of some of our most haunting contemporary novelists—Kazuo Ishiguro, Emily St. John Mandel, Ling Ma—while writing with alluring humor distinctly his own. (The title itself is a sly joke, Mỹ being the Vietnamese word for “America.”)

About Kevin Nguyen

Kevin Nguyen is features editor of "The Verge," and was previously a senior editor at GQ. He has edited stories that have been finalists for the National Magazine Award and the Pulitzer Prize. His debut novel, "New Waves (2020, One World)," was one of NPR’s Best Books of the Year in 2020, and was widely celebrated for its mordant humor, fierce intelligence, and stylish prose. Bryan Washington called it “a delight and a gamble and a treasure and a miracle.” Now, Nguyen delivers another spellbinding treasure with MỸ DOCUMENTS.
