<p><strong>PEN USA NONFICTION BOOK AWARD FINALIST</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ten short stories written by Lily Hoàagrave;ng and Vi Khi Nào explore a range of styles from love stories to speculative fiction and fairy tales.</strong></p>
<p>In this inventive collaboration Hoàng and Nào blend Vietnamese English and Vietlish creating a fresh dynamic voice that captures the complexity of the Vietnamese-American experience. Their stories dive into themes of generational trauma identity and cultural clash offering everything from love stories pieced together from memory to folklore and fantasy to post-apocalyptic worlds where Vietnamese-American identities are reimagined.</p>
<p><em>Timber and Lụa</em> is playful moving and full of surprises. The authors experiment with language and translation showing how meaning can shift and change between cultures. Released on the fiftieth anniversary of the Fall of Saigon this collection is both a celebration of diasporic voices and a tribute to the power of storytelling across generations.</p>
