Hoang Thi Bich Ti, pseudonym of Huynh Thi Bich Ti, short story writer. Born in
1959 in Saigon Vietnam, she fled the country in 1975 with her family to the US,
where she settled. She is a member of the editorial staff of Song Van
magazine established in March 1996. Most of her first published short stories
appeared in the first issue of Song Van under the pseudonyms Tuong Nghi, Lac
Pho, and Hoang Thi Bich Ti. Her first book of fiction "Nguoi dan ba sau
tam quang cao" published by Van Moi Publisher in 1996 collected ten
short stories, many based on her haunting childhood and two of which,
"Chum Hoa Man", had been read on a radio broadcast (Little Saigon
Radio, short-story reading programme), and "Nguoi dan ba sau tam quang
cao", been translated into English. The translation version "Woman
behind the billboard", first published in SongVan Magazine, smeared with
typing errors which could easily be avoided by a careful typist, was
republished in Wordbridge Magazine (ISSN: 1540-1723), Premier Issue, Spring
2002. The story describes a certain look at the Vietnam war, encapsulating
the final picture of the country, and piecing together the fragments of the
war-torn lives from which real people became the typically tragic characters:
the woman who lived behind the billboard; the prostitute; the war bride; the
children and the old woman in the small restaurant; their humanly unavoidable
needs: eating, sleeping, love making; their physically death, and their
mentally death. All were set and framed in a historic playground and
background with the mentally handicapped GI having fought a war of unknown
cause¾ and the victorious team celebrating the victory. Hoang Thi Bich Ti's
most recent publication is also a collection of short stories, Yellow Mama,
published by Viet Publisher in early 2000. The book includes 48 poetry pieces
of Tran Nghi Hoang.
