Publicity copy:

It's a story by an anti-communist who lost his whole family escaping and started to write on the beach after the shipwreck. He considers that it is best not to visit the place.

Not necessarily why you might think. This one concerns another escapee who goes back in the first days when they would let you out again.

He wrecks havoc in the lives of good, trusting people not really meaning to. He just isn't a person. He never got a chance to become one in exile.

Here is the third of 4 posts written of a great many to come about 1 of my favorite books and authors of Viet Nam. I have got about a dozen in play.

Every week 3 each get about 6 hours of my work to convey to you my experience of reading. I write about them in such a way that you may disagree,

such that we agree that we both live in the world these books come from. It's a propaganda technique. One of my dearest colleagues over there in the propaganda fide of Viet Nam disagrees with me.

So I win. Fun game. If you would like to get on the scorecard please sign up for the free subscription. Consider supporting the outreach at $50/year or the whole mission at $250/year.

It's a charity. We run at less than half of what the IRS calls a small non-profit. As we achieve smallness over the rest of my life we are accomplishing many small things.

Who else is going to tell anyone that the great anti-communist exile Vietnamese author writes with compassion and humanity about how his people are not to be trusted and that is very funny?
