This edited book examines how South Vietnam’s (formerly the Republic of Vietnam 1955-1975) literary and journalistic writers were perceived and - potentially - influenced by Western thought, led by thinkers such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Franz Kafka, Sigmund Freud, Thomas Mann, Martin Heidegger, Hermann Hesse, Edmund Husserl, Stefan Zweig, Graham Greene, and Somerset Maugham. The book reveals the dynamism and diversity of Western thought in individual literary texts, as well as among the authors themselves. The volume considers how writers and their texts engaged with issues that are socially, culturally, politically, and philosophically significant to Vietnam and beyond, past and present. This approach to South Vietnam’s literary and journalistic tradition enables an alternative plural, inclusive view of the significance of these texts, which are shown to be neither exclusively anti-Communist nor “bourgeois individualist” (cá nhân tiểu tư sản), as they have so often been interpreted both in and outside of Vietnam. Such an interpretation problematically retains the marginal position of South Vietnam’s literature in mainstream Vietnamese literature, and in the literatures of the host countries where these Vietnamese authors have migrated, settled, and continued to write following the 'Fall of Saigon'. This volume presents itself as a key text for those studying Asian and postcolonial literatures, as well as scholars in the humanities researching Vietnam – its history, politics, society, and culture.

Trong suốt 18 năm cuộc chiến Đông Dương vĩ đại giữa thế kỷ 20, hai nhà văn Vũ Tú Nam và Thanh Hương đã viết nhiều tác phẩm truyền cảm hứng thuộc báo chí, thơ ca và tuyên truyền dành cho những người đồng chí ở miền Bắc Việt Nam - cùng lúc trao đổi những lá thư riêng để giữ vững một tình yêu mãi bị chiến tranh phủ lấp. Liên tục phải xa cách từ khi còn hò hẹn, kết hôn, và khi đã là bố mẹ của hai con nhỏ, những lá thư của họ - không hề với dự định công bố công khai - vẫn là những bản ghi nguyên vẹn về cuộc sống ở phía bắc vĩ tuyến 17. Hồi ức tình yêu là một câu chuyện chưa từng kể về chiến tranh Việt Nam, mang những sắc màu về một kỷ nguyên hiếm khi được tiết lộ với phương Tây, và minh chứng cho trải nghiệm chung của con người về cuộc sống và tình yêu trong mọi thời đại.
