Conversations with the Underground (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781959984825)

In Vietnam, there's a unique literary form that includes prose, poetry, and theater. It's their version of haibun, and it makes all the sense in the word, if you think about it. If you cook-up the colonial French novelist influence with the Chinese poetic influence, and throw in traditional Vietnamese folktales that were always performed and improvised, you get quite a dish. And the whole thing is thematically integrated - under one umbrella, sutured together.

Conversations with the Underground is under that influence, with some improvisations, too. Maybe it's a Vietnamese-like haibun from Vermont. Haybun?
