Monsieur Linh and His Child Claudel Philippe
Traumatized by memories of his war-ravaged country, and with his son and daughter-in-law dead, Monsieur Linh travels to a foreign land to bring the child in his arms to safety. Monsieur Linh struggles beneath the weight of his sorrow, and becomes increasingly bewildered and isolated in this unfamiliar, fast-moving town. The other refugees in the detention centre are unsure how to help the old man; his caseworkers are compassionate, but overworked.
They do not speak each other's language, but Monsieur Bark is sympathetic to the foreigner's need to care for the child. And then he encounters Monsieur Bark. Recently widowed and equally alone, he is eager to talk, and Monsieur Linh knows how to listen.
The two men share their solitude, and find friendship in an unlikely dialogue between two very different cultures. Monsieur Linh and His Child is a remarkable novel with an extraordinary twist, a subtle portrait of friendship and a dialogue between two cultures.
