Love Like Hate

“At once caustic and humorous, harshly critical and nostalgic, Dinh’s overview of his homeland is unfailingly honest.” —Booklist

“Dinh’s abrupt epiphanies mix A.D.D. with Thoreau’s economy, Calvino’s globe-trotting, and a pungent eroticism reminiscent of Kawabata’s Palm-of-the-Hand Stories.” —The Village Voice

“Linh Dinh is already one of the secret masters of short fiction. Love Like Hate is something like a traditional cross-cultural novel that’s been shocked into life by Dinh’s uncanny ability to tell us stories we didn’t even know we wanted to hear.” —Ed Park, author of Personal Days

“Dinh reveals a refreshing sense of utter irreverence and experimental fun. A definite must-read.” —AsianWeek

“Dinh’s abrupt epiphanies mix A.D.D. with Thoreau’s economy, Calvino’s globe-trotting, and a pungent eroticism reminiscent of Kawabata’s Palm-of-the-Hand Stories.” —Village Voice
