ELECTRONIC MAGAZINE OF WRITING OF VIETNAMESE POETS AND WRITERS IN
THE OVERSEAS [Vietnamese Poets And Writers Abroad
LISTINGS]
Most of Vietnamese
writers living abroad are first-generation immigrants, who left Vietnam for
the free world as a result of the 1975 events, when South Vietnam collapsed
and the Communist North took over the entire country. They are the ones who
paved the way for a new literary community abroad, and subsequently, with
writers who started writing after 1975 and second-generation writers who left
Vietnam as teenagers, or who were born after 1975 around the globe, brought
Vietnamese literature into existence in the overseas. The list is compiled and
listed in Vietnamese by poet Luan-Hoan. Listings are edited, rewritten in
English and given added information to where need be by The Writers Post’s
editor N. Saomai. Some listings, as well as unqualified data in a listing
provided by Luan-Hoan may be deleted, and new qualified listings may be
added. Considered unqualified are data on free daily newspapers, free weekly
or monthly publications with classified advertising, publications from vanity
press, and honorable awards or mentions. The length of an entry does not mean
any important of an author. And, when data on teaching positions, military
positions, and governmental positions should be left out of such brief
listings in ‘Vietnamese Poets and Writers Abroad’, they still remain as
matter of providing more, but not necessary special, information. Copyright © The Writers Post 1999-2009.

fiction. This is the fourth book of the author published before 1975, after
several requests for permission to publish met refusal from the censorship
Bureau in Saigon. The interval between refusing the existence of a literary
work and recognising the worth of a literary work’s existence was just a
matter of few months. The National Prize winner, however, only few months
after receiving the prize was summoned to the court of Law in connection with
his short story ‘Mat tran o Saigon’ published in the journal Trinh Bay Issue
34, December 1971. The story was considered to disturb social order and
‘undermine the discipline and fighting spirit of the army’. Twenty-five years
later, ‘Mat tran o Saigon’ was collected to be published in the overseas, in
1996, in a collection that bore the same title. The appearance of ‘Mat tran o
Saigon’ marked the fifth book of the author, which will be followed by three
others, in Vietnamese and in translation. *Pubs:
