Title: TICKET TO CHILDHOOD.
Authors: BRANDON ROBSHAW
Source: Independent (UK). 03/13/2016.
Abstract: Ticket to Childhood was a cult classic in Nguyen Nhat Anh's native Vietnam, becoming that country's bestselling book ever. One can see why: it is full of charm. The narrator re-inhabits his eight-year-old self, describing his friendships, rivalries and crushes, his love for instant noodles, his Uncle Nhien's hat, his games of hunting for buried treasure, his synaesthesia. He constantly reminds us that he is now an adult with children of his own, and all his childhood friends are now adults too; yet he always takes the side of his child-self, as if that was his real self which he's striving to get back to. A witty, playful book. I read it in one go while on a railway journey and it made the trip seem very short. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
