Linh Dinh's is a unique voice in contemporary American literature. He writes with the raging wit and the soul of a poet. Infused with beautiful black humor, Fake House marks an auspicious debut for this exciting young writer. -Jessica Hagedorn, author of Dogeaters and The Gangster of Love Twenty-one nervy stories portraying Asian and American culture, separately and in conflict, by a poet . . . known for his editorship of an important anthology of Vietnamese Fiction (Night, Again, 1996). . . . Vividly imagined characters . . . an interesting collection. -Kirkus Reviews Bloody and bilious, scabrous and scatological, elliptical and oddly redemptive, Linh Dinh's Fake House is a raw and disturbing work from a powerful young writer. -David Lida, author of Travel Advisory: Stories of Mexico
