Unknown Father is the English version of the book De Père Inconnu by the same
author, and published by L'Harmattan in 2015, with a second edition in 2016.
Like the Vietnamese version Cha Vô Danh, also published by L'Harmattan in
2019, this English version is not a literal translation of the French version,
but a rewriting by the author himself for an Englishspeaking audience. ''I was
spellbound both by the content and by the writing style. This book looks
deeply into the lives of Vietnamese as well as into the soul of Vietnam as a
country. A unique mix of biography, culture, history, and politics, it is
important reading for a variety of American and of other Englishspeaking
audiences. It would be very interesting for younger ethnic Vietnamese
descended from the diaspora, especially as the Fall of Saigon nears its 50th
anniversary.'' John R. Bondanella
