Parallels
Parallels
G.g, H, and Kan: three young gay men in contemporary Vietnam, bound together by love and pulled apart by the weight of their private pasts. When their romantic entanglement reaches a breaking point, the consequences are devastating — and rooted in wounds that run far deeper than any of them knew.
The first gay novel from Vietnam to be available in the English language, drawing comparisons to Alan Hollinghurst and Édouard Louis.
