Translation by Phan Huy Duong). The event will take place in Paris on February 1st at 7:30pm at the French Ministry of Culture's Maison des Ecrivains, 53 rue de Verneuil, in the 7th arrondissement. The evening's events will include a presentation by French writer Antoine Audouard's and "dialogue" with Duong Thu Huong, followed by readings of her work in French, Vietnamese and English, and an exchange with her readers. For any of you who wish to attend, please kindly rsvp directly to me by email and then to her publisher Sabine Wespieser at (331) 44 07 59 59 or to contact@swediteur.com. Space will be limited.

The novel "Terre des Oublis" was also recently published in English in my translation under the title "No Man's Land" (Hyperion, 2005).
