These are poems that draw from Doan's experience as a Vietnamese-American while at the same time making a case for--and masterfully playing with--the fluidity of identity, history, and language. Nothing is alien to these poems: the Saigon of a mother's dirge, the footballer Zinedine Zidane, an owl that \"talks to his other self in the well\"--all have a place in Doan's far-reaching and intimately human art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Duy Doan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300230877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300230871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/19\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2018 pg. 62","brand":"Duy Doan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48135966163199,"sku":"9780300230871","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb3b8fd3-197f-4c51-ba2a-5a7aebf9e23b.jpg?v=1770159628","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/we-play-a-game-duy-doan-9780300230871","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
