Bao Ninh
Bao Ninh is a renowned Vietnamese author best known for his novel 'The Sorrow of War,' published in 1991. The book, which explores the psychological impacts of the Vietnam War through the eyes of a soldier named Kien, has earned critical acclaim and is often compared to Erich Maria Remarque's 'All Quiet on the Western Front.' Born in 1952, Ninh served in the North Vietnamese Army during the war, experiencing firsthand the horrors and traumas that he later articulated in his writing.
