Published in conjunction with the exhibition originated by Bellevue Arts Museum, A Tapestry of Memories: The Art of Dinh Q. Lê is a fully illustrated, 88-page color catalog featuring twenty-four pieces from the first major survey on the photographic and conceptual work of American-Vietnamese artist Dinh Q. Lê.  Lê s tapestries and video installations reveal a two-decade-long introspective journey in which the artist has brought his vision to bear on the dislocation and cultural displacement he experienced, first in fleeing his homeland, then with his immersion in American culture, and ultimately upon the return to his estranged and yet familiar country. Through his art, Lê has sought to negotiate the differing perspectives he holds Vietnamese, American-Vietnamese, and American on Vietnam, the Vietnam War, and his place in the two societies in which he finds both belonging and alienation.  Featured in this publication are three essays: A Tapestry of Memories by the curator of the exhibition Stefano Catalani; Impossible to Forget, Difficult to Remember: Vietnam and the Art of Dinh Q. Lê by Viet Thanh Nguyen, professor of English and American Studies & Ethnicity at the University of Southern California; and;The Obdurate History of Mot Coi Di Ve (Spending One's Life Trying To Return Home); by Moira Roth, Trefethen Professor of Art History at Mills College and internationally recognized contemporary art historian. Also included is a in-depth interview with the artist by Stefano Catalani.

A Man of Two Faces

A Man Of Two Faces (paperback)

Little, Brown Book Group, London

Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 2016 
A profound, startling, and beautifully crafted debut novel, The Sympathizer is the story of a man of two minds, someone whose political beliefs clash with his individual loyalties. 
It is April 1975, and Saigon is in chaos. At his villa, a general of the South Vietnamese army is drinking whiskey and, with the help of his trusted captain, drawing up a list of those who will be given passage aboard the last flights out of the country. The general and his compatriots start a new life in Los Angeles, unaware that one among their number, the captain, is secretly observing and reporting on the group to a higher-up in the Viet Cong. 
The Sympathizer is the story of this captain: a man brought up by an absent French father and a poor Vietnamese mother, a man who went to university in America, but returned to Vietnam to fight for the Communist cause. A gripping spy novel, an astute exploration of extreme politics, and a moving love story, The Sympathizer explores a life between two worlds and examines the legacy of the Vietnam War in literature, film, and the wars we fight today.
