We have an outstanding Vietnamese-French graphic novelist, Marcelino Truong, in our midst. In 1957, Truong was born in the Philippines to a Vietnamese father and French mother. His father served as interpreter for President Ng\u00f4 \u0110\u00ecnh<\/em> Di\u1ec7m\u2019s English-speaking visitors, while his mother was a housewife who struggled with manic depression. Truong’s memories of his childhood in Viet Nam form the core of his groundbreaking and engrossing graphic novel <\/em>Une Si Jolie Petite Guerre (Such A Nice Little War)<\/a>, in which the Truong family’s stories are intertwined with the history of Viet Nam in the early 1960s, as twisted policies were implemented by a government motivated by a range of imperatives\u2014nationalism, anticolonialism, and fascination with America. In this graphic novel, Truong focuses on life in\u00a0S\u00e0i G\u00f2n from 1961 to 1963. <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

Today Truong is a self-taught illustrator, painter, and graphic novelist whose awards include the prestigious Bologna Ragazzi prize. He currently lives and works in Paris.<\/em> Une Si Jolie Petite Guerre (Such A Nice Little War)<\/a><\/em> was published in October 2012 by Editions Deno\u00ebl and, for the moment, is only available in French. It can be purchased here<\/a>, and it is currently under review with several US publishers. <\/em><\/p>\n

The following is the first post of a two-part article <\/em>by Ly Lan Dill, who was born in Viet Nam, grew up in the US, and is now a Paris-based translator.

Marcelino Truong's "Une Si Jolie Petite Guerre," published in October 2012 by Editions Deno\u00ebl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

diaCRITICS is thrilled to announce the publication of Une si jolie petite guerre\u2014Saigon 1961-63<\/em> (Such a nice little war\u2014<\/em>Saigon 1961-63),<\/em> the spectacular new graphic novel by Marcelino Truong. It opens with a family portrait on a suburban lawn under a cherry tree. 1961 – Tr\u01b0\u01a1ng B\u1eedu Kh\u00e1nh, <\/em>a diplomat for the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), has been appointed to the embassy in Washington, D.C., accompanied by his French wife, Yvette, and their three children, Mireille, Dominique, and Marcelino. <\/strong>The family is called back to S\u00e0i G\u00f2n where he becomes head of Vietnam Press and Ng\u00f4 \u0110\u00ecnh Di\u1ec7m’s personal interpreter. Newly elected John F. Kennedy\u2019s distant war intensifies and the family implodes as the mother’s bipolar episodes worsen.<\/p>\n

In 1963, with the Buddhist revolt in Hu\u1ebf and Th\u00edch Qu\u1ea3ng \u0110\u1ee9c’s immolation, the situation nationally and privately becomes unbearable. Marcelino’s father is named counselor to the embassy in London and the Truong family leaves S\u00e0i G\u00f2n. They would watch the assassinations of Di\u1ec7m and Kennedy from London.<\/p>\n

The novel focuses on the three years of the Vietnamese-American war under Kennedy. The 50 years since speed by in a succession of panels of iconic scenes in an epilogue that finishes with Marcelino adult with his parents on the beach in St Malo. Through trilingual dialogue and crisp narrative, Marcelino Truong tells a story the French readership has yet to hear, that of the Republic of Vietnam (1955-75). In the forthcoming part 2, Ly Lan Dill meets with Marcelino Truong and discusses his groundbreaking graphic novel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Born in 1957 in the Philippines, Marcelino Truong was named after the street in Manila where his Vietnamese father and French mother used to live – la calle San Marcelino. <\/em>Marcelino earned degrees in law at Sciences Po and English literature at the Sorbonne, before deciding to become an artist at the late age of 25.<\/p>\n

He learned his craft on the job , illustrating newspapers (Lib\u00e9ration, Le Monde<\/em>), magazines (ELLE, L’Express, XXI<\/em>), and numerous books\u2014especially for young readers, including a picture-book published in the United States (A Place To Grow<\/em>, Soyung Pak, Arthur Levine Books, NYC, 2002).<\/p>\n

Much of Marcelino’s work\u2014but not all\u2014deals with Asia and especially Vietnam. He is currently working on a new graphic novel. This new project explores the battle of \u0110i\u1ec7n Bi\u00ean Ph\u1ee7, whose 60th anniversary will be marked in 2014.<\/p>\n

As with the American war in Vietnam,\u00a0\u0110i\u1ec7n Bi\u00ean Ph\u1ee7 has already been portrayed many times over in several media. The task he has set for himself is daunting, especially as his intention, as with Une si jolie petite guerre<\/em>, is to portray the mythical battle through the eyes of the Vietnamese, both the combatants of the People’s Army of Vietnam and those forgotten Indochinese soldiers who fought alongside the French. The latter were already unjustly dubbed puppets <\/em>by their communist counterparts, who were themselves too often dismissed as fanatical “termites” or indoctrinated “red ants.” Green Grass Or A Chest Of Red! <\/em>is the working title.<\/p>\n

He has published in various print media, authored books for all ages, and exhibited his paintings in galleries throughout Europe. The majority of Marcelino’s work deals with Asia, especially Viet Nam.<\/p>\n
