Author Talk: Destination Saigon

I haven't got a hold of this one yet, but I'm bound to, especially when I'm starting to long Vietnam - the place feel such a connection to.

I've seen the vibrant cover of this book at mainstream bookstores since April but wasn't sure what it was all about.

Coincidently, this book bumped back into my life through Thang Ngo in a recent email exchange.

For those of you who want to meet and connect with the author Walter Mason, he'll be at the Whitlam Library, Cabramatta, 6.30pm on next Wednesday the 9th.
