Sheila's Reviews
Richly sensory, gorgeously descriptive, harrowingly disturbing, and beautifully told, Khanh Ha’s Mrs. Rossi’s Dream brings to life a different side of Vietnam—not just the war (though this should surely be a must-read for anyone wanting to see the different sides of conflict), but also the aftermath of peace. . . .

It’s late in the afternoon when the funeral procession shows up on the road that goes past Old Lung’s dwelling.

“Reading Khanh Ha's second novel, The Demon Who Peddled Longing, is like walking through a vivid painting of the Mekong Delta in southwestern Vietnam.
The theme of the reciprocity of benevolence between the characters
endows the novel with a humanitarian perspective. Ha's adherence to a
gritty and believable story world, paradoxically, emphasizes and
reinforces this theme while at the same Khanh Hahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17792652854956979002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405747254979209513.post-23299060973662384282015-02-24T16:04:00.001-05:002015-02-24T16:04:42.315-05:00Foreword Reviews, Spring 2015

“Khanh Ha's Flesh, a visceral and harrowing read, serves as a
brilliant companion for his new novel. Perhaps no sense is more
integrally rooted in the story than the sights which are often both
beautiful and harsh in the same instance. But whereas the tragic
elements of experience seemed to engulf all other aspects of life in Flesh, there is a solid foundation of beauty in this work.
