Ru. In Vietnamese it means lullaby; in French it is a small stream, but also signifies a flow--of tears, blood, money. Kim Thúy's Ru is literature at its most crystalline: the flow of a life on the tides of unrest and on to more peaceful waters. In vignettes of exquisite clarity, sharp...

En mand bliver løsladt efter mange år i fængsel. Han flytter ind hos en gammel ven. Han er som et barn, uden pas, uden sundhedskort, uden NemID. Det eneste, han har, er en ide om at gå. Langt. Hele vejen til Verdens Ende.”Okay, tænker jeg. Jeg er ædru alkoholiker. Ikkeryger. Jeg er drabsmand. Jeg er far. Jeg er 52 år. Jeg vejer 75 kilo plus minus. Jeg er drabsmand. Jeg er far. Ikkeryger. Jeg er løsladt. Jeg er ædru. Jeg er clean. Jeg er drabsmand. Jeg er min ven Mikaels ven. Jeg er ikke ung. Jeg er nøgen. Plus minus. Jeg nikker derinde, nikker til mig selv i spejlet.

Mon prénom, Bào Vi, illustrait l'intention de mes parents de "protéger la plus petite". Si l'on traduit littéralement, je suis "Précieuse minuscule microscopique". Comme dans la plupart des cas au Vietnam, je n'ai pas su être à l'image de mon nom.

Quant à moi, je grandissais sans cesse, dépassant de loin la moyenne et, du même élan, me projetant en dehors des normes.

Explore deeper inside the dark mind of Sea Caummisar. Inspired by true events, even though some names have been changed. A blur of reality and fiction. In my experience, it wasn't the fan that became obsessed with me. I became obsessed with her. Despite this book being inspired by true events, it is still a tale of blood of gore. Listener beware: Don't let the title fool you. This is extreme horror.
