André Dao on his debut novel ‘Anam’

Or , at least, I will  have learnt what we receive from our ancestors and what we pass on to our children – what we give them, even as we wash away the blood and muck with which they arrived.”

In a creative blend of fiction and essay, theory and everyday life –  Anam by Andre Dao is a thought-provoking new read. Based on André’s family story, Anam is a captivating story of memories, inheritance, intergenerational trauma and colonialism. Readers have a front seat to viewing the complex process of a grandson exploring his family and personal stories of place,  ambition, sacrifice and more.

André joined Irene Diakanastasis on 2SER to discuss more about his new release.
