This is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known. / Un hijo escribe una larga carta a su madre, que no sabe leer. La carta es en realidad un examen de conciencia, un repaso a los elementos clave que han ido conformando su identidad: como hijo de una familia de vietnamitas que huyeron de su país rumbo a Estados Unidos y como joven que descubre y asume su homosexualidad. El entorno familiar del chico se compone de la abuela, que tuvo que marcharse de Vietnam con sus hijas, un padre maltratador y ausente, que fue arrestado por agredir a su esposa, y la madre maltratada, que trabaja en un salón de manicura y mantiene una compleja relación con su hijo. En medio de todos ellos está el joven protagonista de esta historia, que creció en Hartford, Connecticut, sufrió acoso escolar por su doble marginalidad –como inmigrante y como homosexual– y descubrió siendo un adolescente el amor y la sexualidad con Trevor.
