Sleep Is No Comfort: Essays

Sleep Is No Comfort: Essays interlaces a bold, visceral, and unrelenting voice from author Kevin Minh Allen, throughout a discourse on the interchange of adoption, family, the Vietnam War, and the often too many times unsought aftermath of those that were born from it. With a keen eye focused on the subtleties and complexities of the Vietnamese adoptee voice and experience, a part of the overall Vietnamese diaspora, Sleep Is No Comfort: Essays in its singular voice, adds a new chapter to this canon in a way that has never truly been published before.
