Trade Review

“Kim Thúy is one of the best selling and most celebrated writers of the Vietnamese diaspora in Francophone literary history. Informed by diverse and refreshing perspectives and cogent analysis of the ideas, art, and textual details in Thúy's many works, Touching Beauty offers an overdue exploration of Thúy's fiction and development as a writer.” Xinyi Tan, Coastal Carolina University
