The Boat

by Nam Le

Hardcover, 2008

Description

Stories that take us from the slums of Colombia to the streets of Tehran; from New York City to Iowa; from a tiny fishing village in Australia to a foundering vessel in the South China Sea-- while taking us to the heart of what is means to be human.

Local notes

A great collection of powerful short stories set in diverse locations around the world. Le takes the reader from suburban Victoria to the slums of Colombia, into Tehran through the eyes of a woman and aboard the refugee boat of the title.
