| Summary: | The writing of Kim Thúy, Quebec au thor originally from Vietnam, represents a place of attachment against exile. The protagonist in Ru(2009), her first work, rebuilds herself and builds her relationship with others in an autobiographical story where the tragic journey of the boat people articulates an almost intimate personal chronicle, which does not focus on exile but on rebirth and reconciliation. À toi(2011), which was written in tandem with Pascal Janovjak, author of Swiss nationality and French-Slovakian descent, is a hybrid work mixing epistolary novel and correspondence between writers across an ocean and six time zones. Even while staging the nomadism and exile of the co-authors, this work highlights the roots and represents writing as a celebration of words. |
