Stitched in Time: Ngô Thế Vinh’s Anthology II - Portraits of Literature, Art, and Culture

Ngô Thế Vinh’s Anthology II - Portraits of Literature, Art, and Culture is a masterful act of reclamation, a radiant arras woven from the lives and legacies of eighteenliterary, artistic, and cultural figures who defined South Vietnam’s vibrant intellectual scene before the cataclysm of April 30, 1975. This collection is not merely a gallery of portraits but a resolute stand against oblivion, preserving the humane, dynamic, and innovative spirit of the Republic of Vietnam (RVN). With a physician’s precision and an exile’s longing, Vinh crafts a narrative that resurrects a cultural heritage nearly erased by decades of suppression, offering readers a window into an era that was as fleeting as it was profound.
