Tran's splendid first novel will quickly engage you with its suspenseful story. . . . Dark and gripping. . . . Dragonfish will keep you reading, out of fear that if you stop, you will never truly surface., A superb debut novel . . . that takes the noir basics and infuses them with the bitters of loss and isolation peculiar to the refugee and immigrant tale., A sophisticated mystery anchored in one woman's quest to make amends with the daughter she abandoned, Dragonfish delicately capsizes our notions of what it means to long for escape from the prisons of our own making., Nuanced and elegiac. . . . Vu Tran takes a strikingly poetic and profoundly evocative approach to the conventions of crime fiction in this supple, sensitive, wrenching, and suspenseful tale of exile, loss, risk, violence, and the failure of love., Absolutely gripping. Vu Tran has written a terrific--and deceptively weird--novel that manages to make Vietnam and Las Vegas feel like old, familiar friends. Don't call him a writer to watch. Call him a writer to read., [A] strong first novel for its risk taking, for its collapsing of genre, for its elegant language and its mediation of a history that is integral to post-1960s American identity yet often ignored. . . . Above all, Tran's novel is a refreshing and entertaining story., [A] hard-hitting debut novel.... [Suzy is] a mystery no one can solve, particularly the people turning all their efforts in the wrong direction. But while their efforts aren't fruitful, they're absorbing. And they speak to the way everyone is a bit of an enigma to other people, no matter how many words they put into the effort to be understood., Like Gatsby, the characters in Tran's novel yearn for something unattainable...This and the feeling that there will only be a tragic end are what elevate Dragonfish beyond its bookstore genre., Like Gatsby, the characters in Tran's novel yearn for something unattainable. . . . This and the feeling that there will only be a tragic end are what elevate Dragonfish beyond its bookstore genre., A superb debut novel...that takes the noir basics and infuses them with the bitters of loss and isolation peculiar to the refugee and immigrant tale., Transfixing...Like such writers as Caryl Phillips, Dinaw Mengestu and Edwidge Danticat, [Tran] is devoted to capturing the immigrant experience and widening everyone's understanding of its particular as well as universal truths., Everything is perfect there, those quiet little garnishes of idiosyncratic detail are gifts, both amusing and full of character. Tran's novel is filled with this sort of inspired meticulousness, and reading it is to enter its world., Splendid...will quickly engage you with its suspenseful story of marital discord, told in duplicate, and set largely in Las Vegas...A dark and gripping story, Dragonfish will keep you reading, out of fear that if you stop, you will never truly surface., [A] most enjoyable mystery, from its distinct, dazzling premise all the way to its satisfying conclusion., Well-handled and tautly told...[A] strong first novel for its risk taking, for its collapsing of genre, for its elegant language and its mediation of a history that is integral to post-1960s American identity yet often ignored.
