关于作者

Kim Thúy is a Vietnamese-Canadian author known for her evocative and lyrical writing style. Born in Saigon in 1968, she fled Vietnam with her family as a boat person during the aftermath of the Vietnam War, eventually finding refuge in Canada. Thúy’s experiences of displacement and identity profoundly shape her narratives, allowing her to explore themes of belonging, memory, and the complexities of the immigrant experience.

Her debut novel, "Ru," is a semi-autobiographical work that weaves together memories of her childhood in Vietnam and her life in Canada. The book received critical acclaim, winning the Governor General's Award for Fiction in Canada. Thúy has since published several other works, including "Mãn," which further delves into the intricacies of culture and family. Through her writing, Kim Thúy not only shares her personal journey but also gives voice to the experiences of many who have navigated similar paths.
