 Nguyen Huy Thiep's "Vang Lua" and the Nature of Intellectual Dissent in Contemporary Vietnam, Peter Zinoman
Thiep's depiction of Nguyen Du, Vietnam's most acclaimed cultural "hero," as a pathetically underemployed, mournful, and impoverished petty bureaucrat who is neglected and scorned by the state has proved equally controversial.
For example, many Vietnamese scholars have felt compelled to defensively explain why Nguyen Du's greatest work and the generally recognized masterwork of Vietnamese literature, The Tale of Kieu, is based on a seventeenth century Chinese prose novel.
We cannot agree with Nguyen Huy Thiep that the most prominent characteristics of Vietnam are its smallness and weakness and that Vietnamese suffer from an inferiority complex because of their proximity to the great Chinese civilization.
