and more on nam le's the boat

Here's good interview Nam Le, whose book The Boat has been getting a lot of attention: LAist Interview: Nam Le, author of The Boat. By the way, it's not a novel, as some have mistakenly been led to believe. The Boat is a collection of short stories. And you can read the first story, "Love and Honor and Pity and Pride and Compassion and Sacrifice," here. Still haven't picked this book up yet, but with all the positive hype it's been getting, I'm planning on reading it soon.
