Vietnamese fiction under French colonization
Bringing together fiction written and set between 1930 and 1954, this anthology presents stories from a period of French colonization in Vietnam. Its historical frame—a society described as semi-feudal and semi-colonial—places Vietnamese life, culture, and social conditions at the heart of the collection. The volume offers an entry point to canonical Vietnamese fiction from the first half of the twentieth century, with the stories collectively tracing a literary portrait of that era.
