"Andrew Lam is a master of the short story form. In each tale, a world is expertly built and emotions finely drawn. Stories from the Edge of the Sea is a gem of a collection--poignant, uplifting, complex, and wildly relatable. This book will be read and studied for years to come." --Noël Alumit, author of Music Heard in Hi-Fi and Letters to Montgomery Clift, "Andrew Lam's Stories from The Edge of the Sea beautifully offers tales of longing, repression, and love as he recalls experiences of immigration and confronts the ruptures amidst generational memories. These stories are indelible, profound, and unforgettable." --Lynn Novick, codirector of The Vietnam War, "Andrew Lam has long been one of the leading chroniclers of the Vietnamese diaspora experience in the United States. This new collection, moreover, secures his position among a coterie of writers exploring notions of home, migration, and belonging in global and transborder contexts. Weaving a tapestry of locations from the Berkeley Hills to the bougainvillea-covered walls of Saigon, the streets of San Francisco, and the business-class section of a commercial jet high over the South China Sea, with characters whose accents wander between California, Paris, and Saigon, this is Lam's most lyrical and wide-ranging collection yet." --Matthew Spangler, playwright, notable for adaptations of The Beekeeper of Aleppo, The Kite Runner, and Tortilla Curtain, "These stories powerfully evoke the emotional world of the displaced, struggling to find their (our?) ways amid the roadless landscapes of post-colonial late-stage capitalism. Moving and poignant, Lam's perceptions are at times funny, at other times tragic, always underlain with a bass note of nostalgia for a vanished world. Stories from the Edge of the Sea complements Lam's earlier, equally fine collection Birds of Paradise Lost. Together with Perfume Dreams, his collection of essays, readers receive superbly complex insights into diaspora--for those Vietnamese forced from their country, of course, but for anyone who has loved and lost a lover, a landscape, a home." --Fenton Johnson, author of At the Center of All Beauty: Solitude and the Creative Life, "Andrew Lam might've entitled this book War and Love, so universal and personal are his stories. I promise you: read Stories from the Edge of the Sea, and you will receive gifts of wonder and grief, shock and delight." --Maxine Hong Kingston, author of The Woman Warrior, China Men, Tripmaster Monkey, and others., "No one maps the moveable feast of the Vietnamese diaspora like Andrew Lam. From stand-up comedians to social chameleons, from college student strivers to lovelorn lawyers taking a striptease walk on the wild side, Lam's characters feel like old friends with shocking secrets to unfold--forced to confront the lost country of the human heart." --Scott Lankford, author of Tahoe Beneath the Surface, "Andrew Lam is a master of the short story form. In each tale, a world is expertly built and emotions finely drawn. Stories from the Edge of the Sea is a gem of a collection--poignant, uplifting, complex, and wildly relatable. This book will be read and studied for years to come." --Noël A lumit, author of Music Heard in Hi-Fi and Letters to Montgomery Clift, "Andrew Lam has long been one of the leading chroniclers of the Vietnamese diaspora experience in the United States.

From Vietnamese wartime villas to college flats in Berkeley, we taste the desires of comedians, soldiers, tomboys, friends, queers, mothers, and refugees. Lam reveals a loving community where acts of care are savored and stirred to perfection." --Long Bui, author of Returns of War: South Vietnam and the Price of Refugee Memory, "Andrew Lam might''ve entitled this book War and Love, so universal and personal are his stories. I promise you: read Stories from the Edge of the Sea, and you will receive gifts of wonder and grief, shock and delight." --Maxine Hong Kingston , author of The Woman Warrior, China Men, Tripmaster Monkey, and others "Andrew Lam is a master of the short story form.

Humor, linguistic virtuosity, and wholly original voices abound in Stories from the Edge of the Sea''s tightly crafted narratives." --Paul Christiansen, editor of Saigoneer and author of Beneath Saigon''s Chò N'u " Stories from the Edge of the Sea transcends mere storytelling; it is a symphony of human experiences, a mirror reflecting life''s myriad shades, leaving readers quietly lacerated and deeply enthralled with the jouissance of every moment within its pages." --Quynh H.
