As a first-generation American, I firmly believe that the greatest storytellers have never been published. They are our parents and grandparents, who have passed down epic tales of what their lives were like before they came here. I was reminded of this all over again when I read Listen, Slowly. In this book, the main character, Mai, gets the rare and wonderful chance to have a role in her family’s tale (which of course she doesn’t appreciate at first). This is a short novel, which makes it all the more amazing that Lai manages to immerse us so completely in Vietnam and in Mai’s thoughts. The book has been a great teacher for me, showing me what is possible when an author makes every word earn its place in the story.
