Praise
“In this eloquent and impassioned novella, Andras charts a course through contemporary Paris in the footsteps of Vietnamese leader Hô Chí Minh … his flâneur’s chronicle builds to a richly layered and emotionally honest reckoning with the promises and failures of a great leader. Andras’s meditation strikes a nerve.”
—Starred Review, Publishers Weekly
“A buzzing, bustling, genre-blending book that balances fact and fiction … the most successful passages arise when Andras extracts truth from either fact or fiction to depict a more real-seeming person behind the historical giant, as when a young H? Chí Minh borrows Marx’s Capital from a Parisian library and, rather than peruse and annotate its pages, ‘the big book served as his pillow.'”
