SUMMARY:Bookclub - The General Retires by Nguyễn Huy Thiệp
DESCRIPTION:When it first appeared in 1987\, the title story of this collection by Nguyễn Huy Thiệp caused a sensation in Vietnam. \n“Not since the Communist revolution had readers found as stark and compelling a view of their world as offered by ‘The General Retires’. Written in spare\, succinct prose\, it captures the despair of an old general who\, after many years of devoted service to his country\, is alienated by the emptiness of the society into which he retires and ultimately flees. Thiệp probes similar themes in the stories that follow\, from Cun\, the moving tale of a crippled beggar\, to A Drop of Blood\, a dark history of a family set against decades of war and revolution. With eight powerfully written stories\, this collection offers unprecedented insight into a society trying to overcome and understand years of pain and civil strife” (amazon.co.uk) \nHere is the link to the popular movie based on the title story \n \nFebruary 10 @ 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM \nMeeting venue: De.Tầm Cafe 33 Phố Yên Thế\, Văn Miếu\, Đống Đa\, Hà Nội \nRSVP attendance –Maria \nPlease follow and like us:Share this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...\n\n	Related\n
