'Far from Vietnam is a coming of age story that concerns, Ann, an American student living in Paris in the mid-1960s, who discovers herself first as a woman and then as a political activist. Her journey involves other American expatriates and their complicated relationship with French society, her travels to the former Yugoslavia and Greece, which are preludes to her involvement in organizing the first demonstration against the Viet Nam War in Paris, and ultimately to a trip to Cuba, where she sees socialism in action. Written in the immediate and tentative style of a journal, the novel draws us into the intimate world of a dedicated revolutionary who must change her own life before it can continue.'-Milo Yelesiyevich, Publisher --- The Serbian Classics Press'Nadja Tesich’s new novel Far from Vietnam, is a brilliant work on the level of her previous novels. here she takes on a new locale and time period in her on-going sensitive portrayals of a woman searching for tenderness in a lost world.'-Laura Shaine Cunningham'Nadja teaches a lesson.
