Monique Truong

Opis

A novel by Vietnamese American about the taste of exile.

Recenzje

It is beautifully written, a cooking up of love and self to feed the devouring appetites of Gerturde Stein and Alice B. Toklas that is nothing less than a masterpiece of delicate and -naturally- existentialist hedonism. Andro Linklater The Spectator
