One might respond to this title with skepticism: "Hasn't everything been said about the folly, genius, and beauty of Vietnam?" Our only answer is that, as with any complex subject, there is always another way to plumb for its core. Nimrod's expanding circle of publication has, in this spirit, previously devoted full issues to India, Arabic Literature: Then and Now, Latin America, Australia, China, the Soviet Union. For spring, 2004, it will be Vietnam.There has never been a more important time to revisit the country of our dreams and our nightmares, the country that Graham Greene evoked so disturbingly in The Quiet American, and that writers like John Balaban, Le Ly Hayslip, Wayne Karlin, Le Minh Khue, Wendy Larson, Tim O'Brien, Tran Thi Nga, Jonathan Shay, Vu Tran, Bruce Weigl and many others have given us in their poetry and fiction.We are interested in receiving poetry, short stories, personal essays, and interviews by those currently living in Vietnam (in translation into English), by Vietnamese residents of the United States and other countries, and by non-Vietnamese who write about or from within the culture. Our interest is not limited to war or to witness but to what is found there. Surprise us!
Best,
Francine Ringold
