About this product

Product Information

This, the novel's first appearance outside Vietnam, marks the arrival, in English, of a hugely appealing and engaging author. The story of a man looking back on his life, Ticket to Childhood captures the texture of childhood in all of its richness. As we learn of the small miracles and tragedies that made up the narrator's life--the misadventures and the misdeeds--we meet his long-lost friends, none of whom can forget how rich their lives once were. And even if Nguyen Nhat Anh can't take us back to our own childhoods, he captures those innocent times with a great deftness. A fable that will charm adults and move children, Ticket to Childhood is sure to capture the hearts of American readers.

Reviews
"This charming short work recalls The Little Prince in its depiction of childhood sensibilities pitted against an often illogical and absurd adult world . . . Conveyed in sparse prose, the insights are often simple but they ring true, and their effect is sweet and endearing." - Publishers Weekly "A compelling if conflicted portrait of modern-day Vietnam . . . While using allegory to voice his political dissatisfaction, Anh downplays its impact by suggesting that restless citizens are nothing but pampered children . . . A startlingly vivid portrait of 21st-century Vietnam and its growing pains." - Shelf Awareness "The best-selling book in the history of modern Vietnam, this first English translation of Ticket to Childhood marks the arrival of a hugely appealing and engaging author." - The New Criterion , "This charming short work recalls The Little Prince in its depiction of childhood sensibilities pitted against an often illogical and absurd adult world . . . Conveyed in sparse prose, the insights are often simple but they ring true, and their effect is sweet and endearing." - Publishers Weekly "A compelling if conflicted portrait of modern-day Vietnam . . .
