By Megan Mayhew Bergman, Special To The Washington Post Viet Thanh Nguyen’s new collection of stories, “The Refugees,” is as impeccably written as it is timed. The book, a follow-up to Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, “The Sympathizer,” is dedicated to “all refugees, everywhere.” This is an important and incisive book written by a major writer with firsthand knowledge of the human rights drama exploding on the international stage — and the talent to give us inroads toward understanding it. Nguyen’s acknowledgments do not shy away from his relationship to the book’s title.

How puzzling can help you get your edge back
Denver Post: Books, Monday - 04/22/2024 - 08:00 AM
I’ve completed 17 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles in the past 14 weeks. Mostly by myself. Over that same time, I also cut way back on booze, halved my phone screen time (okay, it’s maybe 30% less), and gone on a dozen hikes. All without losing a single cardboard piece. I never really saw myself as a puzzler, but it’s become a nice way to put aside the problems of the world and focus on something else for five or 10 minutes, or for a couple of hours.
