Welcome to Nha Van, the fiction archive of Nu Hiep. My assorted writing is housed here for your perusal.
In the Vietnamese language, nha van literally means "house of literature." It is commonly used to reference writers, connoting one voice in a long, textured history.
This term, of course, has special meaning to me. When I was born, my father sent a letter home to his father to celebrate the coming of his first daughter. In this letter, he inscribed the date and time of my arrival. It is an important ritual in my family - the reading of a newborn's fortune. With methods arcane and lost, like an onmyouji out of film, my grandfather measured the alignment of my stars and traced the thread of my fate.
I was born under the star of the writer, the poet, and the dreamer.
It's a pretty cool fate.
