A haunting, lyrical reckoning with war's aftermath, The Afterlife of a Threadbare Jester confronts the brutality of Vietnam's reeducation camps while illuminating the enduring power of memory, loyalty, and the human will to survive.
Centering on a Vietnamese intelligence officer's years-long ordeal in communist reeducation camps, The Afterlife of a Threadbare Jester offers a heartrending and an illuminating look at the Vietnam War and its aftermath. War, literature, religion, politics, loyalty--they are all expertly interrogated through the protagonist's compelling voice and the memorable cast of characters he encounters. Despite the struggle and suffering, the story never veers into the sentimental or cynical. Instead, it returns again and again to the complexities of the human heart and its will to endure. This is not a novel of ism excoriation; it is, in fact, a story that seeks questions to the truths of life and asks the question: "How can you expect a man who's warm to understand a man who's cold?" A moving, unforgettable, and enlightening must-read.
