Chuong, the director of the Vietnamese Ameican Studies Center at San Francisco State University, has added elegant photographs that still perfectly echo Tran's concerns. the other as perceived is language or the loss of other as/ place stranger country beleoved the other when deciphered/ is but the self intently saying in loving you I lose myself.
