A hidden gem in contemporary Vietnamese literature, Parallels draws likely comparisons to pages of Alan Hollinghurst, douard Louis, and Garth Greenwell.

G.g, H, and Kan are young, and homosexual. They soon find themselves caught up in a menage trois that forces them to grapple with devastating consequences rooted in exploitation, scars and shames from their private pasts. Embedded in violence, insanity, betrayals, homoeroticism and surrealism, Parallels is a riveting account of how carnal and emotional traumas can determine how we love and hurt each other; an exquisite debut that introduces readers to the astonishing gifts of V nh Giang's imaginative power and distinctive style.

Intense, complex and cinematic, this is the first gay novel from Vietnam to be available in the English language.
