A review by kenleyneufeld
Nothing Ever Dies: Vietnam and the Memory of War by Viet Thanh Nguyen

5.0

I'm a bit behind in picking up this award-winning book, but it certainly wasn't to late for a reading. This is the kind of book that I'd like read portions again. This is also a book that has a plethora of other author references forcing my "to read" shelf to grow beyond my capacities. A great introduction to a topic that I didn't have much knowledge of, what the author calls the "industry of memory." What's involved in memory-making, what is just memory, and how peace requires the taking over the industry of memory. It's one to share.
