According to Thuy Khe, a well known literary critic and RFI reporter, Prof.
Hien's "On A Characteristic of Our Recent Literature" is one of
two essays "considered to have cleared the cobwebs for the coming of
the literature of renovation" ("Twenty Five Years of Overseas Vietnamese
Literature, 1975-2000," Hop Luu Journal, #50 and #51). Prof. Hien will
read the major texts of the Overseas Writings from 1975 to 2000, with particular
emphasis on the subjects of love and attachment to the land. He will then
write a literary essay presenting his findings. Dr. Hien is well-qualified
to do this: he's an internationally known scholar, respected by writers both
inside and outside Vietnam. Nguyen Mong Giac, editor-in-chief of Van Hoc,
probably one of the three most respected Vietnamese literary journals overseas,
singles out Dr. Hien for superlative accolades in his essay "Nguyen Minh
Chau and Hoang Ngoc Hien, two authentic writers," an unprecedented 15-page
tribute. He calls him one of the two "most daring, most valued"
writers of the literary community in Vietnam who has consistently advocated
for a freer and more democratic environment for writers.
Prof. Hue Chi, a widely-known specialist in Classical Literature and Philosophy, principal compiler of the groundbreaking 3-volume Poetry and Prose of the Ly Tran Dynasties, will read works in the diaspora on Classical Literature and Philosophy. He will study their development and transformation since 1975, and compare them with the parallel changes in Vietnam. Prof. Chi is not a stranger vis-a-vis Vietnamese overseas literature. He is one of the few well-known critics in Vietnam who has actually written about it, and the only one whose essay on this subject has been noted with appreciation abroad. Thuy Khe, an overseas writer and RFI reporter, comments that Prof. Chi's "The Vietnamese Literature Overseas: A Few Impressions" has "introduced a number of overseas works under the serious viewpoint of a critic and researcher, disregarding altogether any demarcation of geography and politics". His most recent volume - the 700-page "Eastern Thoughts - Suggestive Lines of Inquiry," on the contributions of his late teacher Cao Xuan Huy to Eastern philosophy, has been spectacularly received, both at home and abroad. Prof. Chi is currently working on the 4th volume of Poetry and Prose of the Ly Tran Dynasties.
