My friends Charlie Hunter's mother Edith stars in this third reading of Hy Van Luong's history of a village in Viet Nam over roughly the years of her own life.
Edith wasn't sure about the importance of my own interest in the whole of Viet Nam and Southeast Asia in the context of 4 hundred years of modern life and 3 million years of our species worldwide,
but on the other hand she edited and published a newspaper with her husband Army devoted to Weathersfield Center, Vermont.
I miss her though I am not sure I would have mustered the nerve to write about her were she still more directly with us. Anyways. I already have my fourth reading of Hy's study in the can for next month.
My Viet Nam letters will return to my great contemporary's work again and again as I read through a body of literature occasioned by the arrival of the nation of Viet Nam in the world order.
When you read one of these things you achieve their purpose. Should you go on to read a book I discuss, well, wow. When you patronize the other readers at $50/year or the whole show at $250/year, as Charlie has done, I will appreciate it.
