THE MIGRANT RAIN FALLS IN REVERSE by @8vinhnguyen is available now in paperback! 📚️ An unconventional memoir of conjuring the uncertain past and a long-lost homeland, and a vital document of one family’s journey through world history ✨️ "Nguyen astutely shows how a refugee’s migration narrative can be at once forward-oriented and tragically regressive; the idea of refuge cannot be defined by legal or political considerations but, as he explains, ‘something to be lived, something that is not yet over or that is still to come.’” — @npr ✨ “Inventive . . . [Nguyen] nimbly transports readers to a blurry past and immerses them in the biographical ambiguities of life as a refugee.” — @publisherswkly ✨“Lyrical . . . Poignantly embodies a life marked by an unsatisfiable longing.” — @kirkus_reviews

Happy publication day to THE DEAD RINGER! ✨ ✨ "Full of suspense and action, this captivating Montana Western, set largely in 1935, will have readers’ hearts pumping." — @altajournal buff.ly/AI642hW
