Abstract:
This collection consists of two English-Vietnamese bilingual short stories by a same author.
The first story, "The Sun Hunters", relates major ordeals the author experienced during the Franco-Vietnamese War and then the Vietnam War. The story provides readers with some notions about the major political components involved in the confrontations: Atrocities of the invaders, Communist propagandas and ransacks, war crimes, nature of the South-Vietnamese regime, and more.
The second, "On the Eve of Prison Release," brings up a fictional scenario of the interactions between the creatures from a fictitious monkey planet and humans.
