A Minnesota PBS Initiative
An Evening with Viet Thanh Nguyen
This public event with Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The Sympathizer,” explored how we remember war and its many dimensions.
What does it take to remember the human loss and inhuman acts felt on all sides in the aftermath of war? And what is our role in creating a just memory of war within contemporary discourse?
In an engaging discussion with acclaimed Minnesota author Kao Kalia Yang, Nguyen addresses these and other themes from his book “Nothing Ever Dies: Vietnam and the Memory of War.”
This event was hosted by the Minnesota Humanities Center at St. Catherine’s University. Video production is a media partnership of TPT.
