“Dumb luck” translator to meet Hanoi students
Students in Hanoi will have the opportunity to meet with Professor Peter Zinoman who translated the “Dumb Luck” novel by Vu Trong Phung at an exchange meeting next week.
He will talk about research on Vietnam’s history in the US at the Hanoi University of Social Sciences and Humanities on June 24.
Zinoman is a history professor at the Department of South and Southeast Asian Studies of the California University. He is also founder and former editor-in-chief of the Journal of Vietnamese Studies and a writer of the Colonial Bastille: A History of Imprisonment in Vietnam, 1862-1940.

He studies Vietnam’s contemporary history, culture, society and politics, as well as history of Vietnamese literature in the 20th century.
He said not many of Vu Trong Phung’s works have been translated into English and this is disadvantageous to the Vietnamese writer and literature in general.
