Lam
Chuong,
born in 1942 in Tay Ninh South Vietnam, an officier in the South Vietnam Armed
Force. After South Vietnam fell for the Communist in 1975, Lam Chuong was
arrested and imprisoned in re-education camps. Released from the camp, he
escaped Vietnam in 1987, resettled in Boston, Massachusetts. Before 1975, Lam
Chuong contributed to Van, Van hoc, Bach Khoa, Khoi Hanh, Nghe Thuat.
Resuming his writing when living abroad he contributed to Lua Viet, Van Hoc,
Hop Luu, Song Van, Di Toi, Khoi Hanh, and many more. His work deals
principally with both the problems of freedom and life in the re-education
camps under the Communist regime in Vietnam, and different from many other
expatriate Vietnamese writers’, rarely with the expatriate life in the US.
Lam Chuong’s short stories about re-education camps, in which he condemned
the criminal conduct of the camps and the constant brutality towards
prisoners, are based on his own experiences during his being detained of ten
years from 1975 to 1985. His first book, a collection of poetry, Loai Cay Nho
Gio published in 1971 (Vietnam: Khai Pha, 1971) was followed by Doan Duong
Hot Tat Liet (Collection of short stories. California: Van Moi, 1998), Lo Cu
(Collection of short stories. California: Van Hoc, 2000), Di Giua Bay Thu Du
(Collection of short stories. California: Van Moi, 2002), Truyen va Nhung
doan van (Collection of stories and articles. California: Van Moi, 2004).
