The resilient wild daisies in "Once attached, once loved"

Returning after 7 years with the short story collection "Once attached, once loved" (Bookland and Dan Tri Publishing House), young writer Tran Duy Thanh (member of the Ho Chi Minh City Writers Association) shows significant progress in literature.

The short story collection "Once attached, once loved" has just been introduced to readers.

Tran Duy Thanh (born 1995) is known as the author of Saigon Sunstroke (Literature Publishing House) and Saigon, there is someone waiting there for me (Kim Dong Publishing House).

Going beyond the soaring stories of adolescence, the 22 short stories in "Once attached, once loved" show a Tran Duy Thanh who is very different from before.

Tran Duy Thanh lived and worked in Australia for 3 years under the 462 Work & Holiday visa. This time naturally became a valuable source of material for his writings.

The short stories Alone in Australia , Wild Daisy in Australia , and The Land in My Heart are placed next to each other in a deliberate arrangement. Readers can read each short story separately and then connect them together to form a continuous short story depicting the portraits of young people working in Australia.

With "Once attached, once loved" , Tran Duy Thanh brings many thoughts and reflections on life. On the threshold of entering life, his characters have chosen one way or another, even though those choices do not come from passion, but from the desire to "change their fate", but it is that journey that helps them become bolder, so that each "step" is not meaningless.

And thanks to that, readers, especially young people, can see themselves in these short stories.
