- Summary:
- Set in the 1970s, in the era of the Vietnam War and its volatile aftermath, "Land of Smiles" chronicles a young Southeast Asian man's journey from a refugee camp in Thailand to a housing project in Oakland, California. Balancing a moving account of dislocation and loss with gentle comedy, the novel is a new classic in the literature of the immigrant experience.
