To Save and to Destroy. Writing as an Other, Hardback

Pulitzer Prize winner Viet Thanh Nguyen’s To Save and to Destroy is a deeply personal reflection on outsiders in literature and in US society. Across six essays, first delivered as the Norton Lectures, Nguyen offers insightful readings of authors who shaped his craft, culminating in a poignant and vigorous call for a solidarity of the devastated.
