[An] eloquent...narrative of the Vietnam War's psychological impact on combatants and civilians...This is primarily a work that comes to grips with memory and identity through the arts...Nguyen succeeds in delivering a potent critique of the war and revealing what the memories of living have meant for the identities of the next generation., Nothing Ever Dies provides the fullest and best explanation of how the Vietnam War has become so deeply inscribed into national memory. Nguyen's elegant prose is at once deeply personal, sweepingly panoramic, and hauntingly evocative., Nothing Ever Dies is an account of humanity at its darkest, a realm of war, memory, identity and pain that ventures from the jungles of Vietnam to the killing fields of Cambodia., In this elegantly written book, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Nguyen offers a comprehensive, balanced analysis of how the Vietnam War has been remembered and forgotten-both privately and collectively...Examining a medley of cultural forms-novels, monuments, cemeteries, souvenirs, video games, photography, museum exhibits, and movies-Nguyen calls attention to the inequality in the industrial production of memory and to the power of art to disable future wars. One of the book's most original-and perhaps controversial-arguments is that to avoid simplifying the other, people need to recognize both their humanity and their ever-present inhumanity and those of others as well., In this elegantly written book, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Nguyen offers a comprehensive, balanced analysis of how the Vietnam War has been remembered and forgotten--both privately and collectively...Examining a medley of cultural forms--novels, monuments, cemeteries, souvenirs, video games, photography, museum exhibits, and movies--Nguyen calls attention to the inequality in the industrial production of memory and to the power of art to disable future wars. One of the book's most original--and perhaps controversial--arguments is that to avoid simplifying the other, people need to recognize both their humanity and their ever-present inhumanity and those of others as well., By taking the reader on a sweeping and sobering global tour of artifacts, places, art, texts, and monuments associated with Vietnam, Nguyen argues that our cultural need to reflect accurately upon our history and fully absorb its lessons is forever at war with the impossibility of ever fully knowing the truth, or retelling it accurately...Cautioning that we cannot remember what we do not see, he lists the ways in which the U.S. has failed to fully recognize its own role in Vietnam, let alone the Vietnamese citizens it ostensibly went to Vietnam to protect...It's fitting that Nothing Ever Dies has emerged at a moment when the U.S. and most of Europe are fiercely questioning America's ability to reconcile with the past. Nguyen might say that the only way we can truly acknowledge the past is to contend with how fallible our memories actually are., In Nothing Ever Dies , his unusually thoughtful consideration of war, self-deception and forgiveness, Viet Thanh Nguyen penetrates deeply into memories of the Vietnamese war...[An] important book, which hits hard at self-serving myths., This thought-provoking book is recommended for all students of the Vietnam War and those interested in historical memory., A penetrating analysis by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Nguyen on how the Vietnam War has been remembered by the countries and people that have been most affected by it., Inspired by the author's personal odyssey, informed by his wide-ranging exploration of literature, film, and art, this is a provocative and moving meditation on the ethics of remembering and forgetting. Rooted in the Vietnam War and its aftermath, it speaks to all who have been displaced by war and revolution, and carry with them memories, whether their own or of others, private or collective, that are freighted with nostalgia, guilt, and trauma., In Nothing Ever Dies , Nguyen has written a powerful meditation on the manner in which memories are produced, cultivated, even empowered and subdued...He's a lucid and robust voice for the forgotten--forgotten people, forgotten places, and forgotten memories most of all... Nothing Ever Dies is one man's powerful entreaty to a country which has seen nearly endless conflict (one war running upon the next) for generations., [Nguyen] produces close readings of the novels, films, monuments, and prisons that form 'the identity of war' in Vietnam, 'a face with carefully drawn features, familiar at a glance to the nation's people.' Nguyen draws insights from Levinas, Ricoeur, and other philosophers, and his approach has affinities with that of hybridists such as W. G. Sebald and Maggie Nelson. The book is also notable for its inclusivity, addressing Cambodian, Laotian, Hmong, and Korean experiences and the competition for narrative dominance in bookstores and box offices., [A] gorgeous, multifaceted examination of the war Americans call the Vietnam War-and which Vietnamese call the American War...As a writer, [Nguyen] brings every conceivable gift-wisdom, wit, compassion, curiosity-to the impossible yet crucial work of arriving at what he calls 'a just memory' of this war., [A] gorgeous, multifaceted examination of the war Americans call the Vietnam War--and which Vietnamese call the American War...As a writer, [Nguyen] brings every conceivable gift--wisdom, wit, compassion, curiosity--to the impossible yet crucial work of arriving at what he calls 'a just memory' of this war., In Nothing Ever Dies , Nguyen has written a powerful meditation on the manner in which memories are produced, cultivated, even empowered and subdued...He's a lucid and robust voice for the forgotten-forgotten people, forgotten places, and forgotten memories most of all... Nothing Ever Dies is one man's powerful entreaty to a country which has seen nearly endless conflict (one war running upon the next) for generations., Readers will discover the roots of Nguyen's powerful fiction in this profoundly incisive and bracing investigation into the memory of war and how war stories are shaped and disseminated...Ultimately, Nguyen's lucid, arresting, and richly sourced inquiry, in the mode of Susan Sontag and W. G. Sebald, is a call for true and just stories of war and its perpetual legacy., Is there hope for an ethics of memory, or for peace? Nothing Ever Dies reveals that, in our collective memories of conflict, we are still fighting the Forever War. Nguyen's distinctive voice blends ideas with family history in a way that is original, unique, exciting. A vitally important book.

- z***o (141)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufDragons have always been an deep personal interest of mine, and other since I found out about the spiritual subject of them from DJ Conway I found myself hooked! Chandler's book is good for both those on an spiritual path, and for those who are merely interested in the subject of Dragons and Mythology, will find something enlightening in this tome. I loved that bit on the Multi-elemental spirit dragons. They're purple just like my favorite Dragon Spyro!
