I just finished reading, 'Sigh, Gone: A Misfit's Memoir of Great Books, Punk Rock, and the Fight to Fit In." It is said that a single ray of light can dispel the darkness, Mr. Tran, you are a super nova, shine on, soul warrior, shine on! Ps. I can't post without a ?, I really just wanted to tell you, the first thing that came to me after reading your book and to thank you.
Phuc Tran
Thanks, Elisa! I'm so delighted that you read the book and found points of connection!

Hey Phuc. Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your book but realized I don't really have the words to do so. Just know I couldn't put it down. It was lovely and made me smile. Keep doin' what you're doin', dude. And because this stupid box requires a question mark, here one is?

Phuc Tran:
Hi Phuc, this is not a question. I just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed your memoir. I felt a connection to your story, having been born in a Hindu family in a Buddhist kingdom and been sent catholic missionary school, and capping all that with finally coming to America as a refugee just as Trump was rising in politics! I hope you write more books. I will be the first in line to buy them..?

Phuc Tran:
Hi, Phuc! Did your parents ever read Sigh, Gone? If so, what do they think of their representation in the book? (Also, my Mom came over from SG in 1975 and fish sauce in the spaghetti is the ONLY way to eat it! I kept smiling when I came across little descriptions like that, such small things that were random yet also so relatable.)
