HA NOI (VNS)  — The Bookworm will host a talk by Peter Zinoman on January 3, who is the translator and editor of the novel So Do (Dumb Luck) by famous Vietnamese critical writer Vu Trong Phung.

First published in Vietnamese in 1936, the novel was named by the Los Angeles Times as one of the best books of 2003 thanks partly to the contributions of Zinoman – an internationally recognised expert researcher on Phung.

His talk will start at 7pm at 44 Chau Long Street. Free entry. Enquire at bookworm@fpt.vn. — VNS
