The novel Tuyet Khong Dau Tam by writer Nguyen Viet Ha (Tre Publishing House) is one of three works awarded the Vietnam Writers Association Award in the prose category.
Detective novel "Absolutely No Trace" by Nguyen Viet Ha was awarded the 2023 Writers' Association Award
Absolute No Trace is a novel written by writer Nguyen Viet Ha over a period of 5 years, with the genre introduced as “swordplay detective novel”. The story Absolute No Trace revolves around detective Tuan and his journey to find many missing people in the city during the end of time, then gradually becomes a journey between the two shores of dreams and reality to delve deep into the human subconscious. The writing style is half Western, half Chinese, half ancient, half modern, showing a search and innovation in the form of expression of writer Nguyen Viet Ha.
In this novel, writer Nguyen Viet Ha continues to exploit the familiar space of Hanoi . A Hanoi that is both ancient and modern, filled with the reality of life, with citizens who are "rarely calm" in the "turmoil" of the "late-era" city, when pagodas and temples are springing up everywhere, the pace of life is crowded, the scenes of ostentatious decoration of the rich, the jostling and chaos... The narrative voice is both subtle, humorous but deeply satirical.
Also in the Prose category, the Vietnam Writers Association Award this year was given to the novel From the Sixth Hour to the Ninth Hour by writer Nguyen Mot (Lien Viet and Writers Association Publishing House); the short story collection A Summer Under the Shade of a Tree by writer Nguyen Tham Thien Ke (Writers Association Publishing House).
