SUCH A LOVELY LITTLE WAR SAIGON 1961-63 GN

(W) Marcelino Truong (A) Marcelino Truong (CA) Marcelino Truong

This graphic memoir tells the story of the early years of the Viet NAm war as seen through the eyes of a young boy NAmed Marco, the son of a Viet NAmese diplomat and his French wife. The boy's father works for the South Viet NAm embassy in the United States, then the family is called back to Saigon in 1961, where the father becomes Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem's perso NAl interpreter; as the growing conflict between North and South intensifies, so does turmoil within Marco's family, as his mother struggles to grapple with bipolar disorder. Visually powerful and emotio NAlly potent, is both a large-scale and intimate study of the Viet NAm war as seen through the eyes of the Viet NAmese: a turbulent NAtio NAl history interwined with an equally traumatic familial one.
