New marks of writer Nguyen Ngoc Tu

Although he will not release any new works in 2024, writer Nguyen Ngoc Tu still leaves outstanding impressions through reprinted works, translations, and joint collections.

One of them is the collection of essays Tomorrow of Tomorrows, first published in 2007 after the novel Endless Fields became a hit. This comeback after more than 15 years was carried out by Tre Publishing House with 36 essays revolving around many topics, focusing on the fate and life of ordinary people in the countryside. Still with a simple, rustic writing style but subtly capturing the moments of empathy in human emotions, in this work, what is most Nguyen Ngoc Tu will still return with a literature that seems like nothingness but carries extremely deep emotions.

Nguyen Ngoc Tu's signature works are coming soon
