“The United States was already a better country because Phuc Tran refused to change his name. Then he went even further in changing this country by giving us this bold, funny, and profane memoir: a portrait of a young punk refugee and of heartland America itself, each of them as defiant and compelling as the other.”
— Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of Pulitzer-Prize winning The Sympathizer and The Refugees
