Again, it’s been ages since I’ve posted here. Why? Mostly I’ve been busy with my writing, with life in Vietnam, and
with the two street cats I’ve adopted. Especially the two street cats I’ve
adopted…
I’m posting this to let visitors to my blog know that my
novel, Lotusland, is currently available on Amazon – about six weeks earlier than the original release date.
Lotusland has received the following two endorsements:
Tender, brutal,
authentic, Lotusland captures the romance,
disenchantment, and discoveries of expats living high and low in Vietnam.
Joiner weaves a fine story.
-Andrew X.
Pham, author of Catfish and Mandala
and Eaves of Heaven, and translator
of Last Night I Dreamed of Peace
Lotusland transports readers far
away from narratives about the Vietnam War. David Joiner takes Vietnam as many
people have come to know it and shows what it’s like today. A wonderful,
important debut.
-Le Ly Hayslip, author of When Heaven and Earth Changed Places and
Child of War, Woman of Peace
For anyone interested in literary fiction set in contemporary
Vietnam, please give Lotusland a look.
Happy New Year!
