Read an excerpt from OTHER MOONS: VIETNAMESE SHORT STORIES OF THE AMERICAN WAR AND ITS AFTERMATH, translated and edited by Quan Manh Ha and Joseph Babcock. In this anthology, Vietnamese writers describe their experience of what they call the American War and its lasting legacy through the lens of their own vital artistic visions. The twenty short stories collected in Other Moons range from the intensely personal to narratives that deal with larger questions of remembrance, trauma, and healing. "Out of the Laughing Woods" tells the story of five fictional characters, and the consequences they suffer from the war.
