A review by radagast_the_brown
A Man of Two Faces: A Memoir, a History, a Memorial by Viet Thanh Nguyen

challenging emotional funny reflective medium-paced

5.0

outstanding structure and form, quick to bring laughs and weepiness. viet is a hoot to chat with and hear speak (most recently at a berkeley conference) and this collection of cohesive memoir essays shows how he came to be an academic and novelist with a strong commitment to his values. first 5★ of 2024!
