Ng is a novel by Vietnamese-American author Viet Thanh Nguyen that won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The novel follows the life of a Vietnamese refugee who comes to the United States after the Vietnam War.
The novel is narrated by a man named Ngoc Lan Tran, who was born in Vietnam in 1950. Ngoc Lan's father was a South Vietnamese army officer, and his mother was a nurse. Ngoc Lan's family was forced to flee Vietnam after the war, and they eventually settled in the United States.
Ngoc Lan struggles to adjust to life in the United States. He is haunted by memories of the war, and he feels like an outsider in his new country. Ngoc Lan eventually becomes a successful lawyer, but he never forgets the sacrifices that his family made for him.
Ng is a powerful and moving novel about the Vietnam War and its aftermath. Nguyen's writing is lyrical and evocative, and he creates a vivid and unforgettable portrait of a man who is trying to find his place in the world.
