diaCRITIC Jade Hidle reviews Quan Barry’s\u00a0fiction debut,\u00a0<\/em>She Weeps Each Time You’re Born; a novel that merges together Vietnamese history, magical realism, and heaps of\u00a0dream-like imagery.<\/i><\/p>\n

I have a lot of nightmares. I can still remember childhood nightmares of my mom wrapping me up as a burrito and feeding me to Freddy Krueger, as well as a recurring dream of a monster truck running over an old lady selling flowers. More recently, I have dreamed of zombies with classical music radiating from their rotting chests before disintegrating into white ash, and of my deceased grandparents coming to visit me in their fanciest clothes, but with their faces disassembled like a Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head at a daycare center. When I told my mother about this last one, she said, \u201cYou odd.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though these images are lastingly vivid, these nightmares are often numbing. They prevent me from waking up even when I am lucidly trying, and when I eventually do my brain feels foggy for hours afterward. This disorientating dreaminess punctuated by vivid images is the feel of Quan Barry\u2019s new novel, She Weeps Each Time You\u2019re Born<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"sheweeps\"<\/p>\n

Bookended by the protagonist Rabbit\u2019s 2001 return to Viet Nam, the novel covers decades of Vietnamese history from 1972-96, all focalized through Rabbit\u2019s prescient, magical realist abilities to hear the voices of the dead. Like dreams, Barry\u2019s prose is imagistic, evincing her background in poetry. (She has won the AWP Donald Hall Prize for Poetry.) The novel opens with descriptions of \u201cdragonflies floating fat and red,\u201d \u201cthe landscape lush and meditative,\u201d and the \u201ccrickets and frogs starting to call\u201d (3-4). I had to suspend my kneejerk reaction to critique these typical, romanticized depictions of an idyllic Viet Nam, as I reminded myself that this nostalgia makes sense for the character who is returning to Viet Nam and attempting to rediscover her homeland.<\/p>\n

But these nature-centric, ethereal images continue when the novel jumps back to 1972 and throughout the book. Sometimes this lingual craftsmanship creates evocative, painting-like impressions\u2014for instance, \u201cthe horizon pinking\u201d (92) or \u201cThe air fill[ing] with the sound of ringing, like a needle imperceptibly vibrating with human electricity, or a fly\u2019s wings beating to keep it aloft\u201d (31).<\/p>\n

However poetic, these recurring plays with language began to inundate my senses. Everything began to taste like honey, milk, and blood. Lots of corpses. Lots of breastfeeding. Including a milky Grapes of Wrath<\/em> throwback. At times, the tone evokes fables. While I can see how Barry\u2019s aestheticized prose would appeal to readers seeking a sensory tour of Vietnamese history, its oversaturation thwarted my identification with any of the characters and my investment in the forward momentum of the plot. I do not consider myself a reader who seeks eccentric characters or plot-driven stories, but rather than open up<\/em> narrative avenues that would make me want to keep reading, the ends of Barry\u2019s chapters tended to close down<\/em> with the weight of a symbolic image\u2014for instance, Qui \u201cplucking bits from the red chrysanthemum and quietly slipping the tufts in her mouth\u201d (176) or when Rabbit \u201cfelt the wave cresting in her body\u201d (180). These felt like the poetic equivalent of the mic drop.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the motif of water sets a sometimes intriguing aquatic tone and form of the novel, ebbing and flowing between images, points of view, and periods of history. (This fluidity reminded me of the tidal structure and themes of l\u00ea thi diem th\u00fay\u2019s The Gangster We are all Looking For<\/em>, one of my favorite literary works.) Much of Barry\u2019s novel revolves around water\u2014namely the Song Ma River and the surrounding seas\u2014and its simultaneous generative and destructive powers. Just as Barry writes that \u201c[w]ater is the trickster element\u201d (124), Rabbit mirrors the tides of the narrative in magical realist proportions.<\/p>\n

\"Donate<\/a><\/p>\n

Far exceeding the expectations of her age and appearance, Rabbit\u2019s prescience is clear in Barry\u2019s descriptions that she \u201ccould feel,\u201d \u201ccould tell,\u201d and \u201cknew\u201d just about everything. What\u2019s more, Rabbit has the ability to hear the dead, some \u201cvoices […] so old they seemed to speak another dialect\u201d (104), which is one of many instances in which the novel blurs the line between life and death. (There are bodies everywhere in the novel, and Barry\u2019s language spotlights the visceral stories those bodies tell.) With this surreal yet emotionally relatable capability to access oft-silenced histories and traumas, Rabbit parallels the country and history of Vietnam. For instance, when Rabbit enters the story, the Americans retreat (52), and when the Khmer Rouge kills three thousand Vietnamese, \u201cRabbit lay burning with fever\u201d (99). Rabbit is emblematic of how histories ripple under the skin, arterializing collective traumas that are not to be forgotten.<\/p>\n

As history embodied, Rabbit offers readers the opportunity to witness widely known eras of French colonization and Communist North Vietnamese occupation. The book offers glimpses into the atrocious realities of \u201c\u0111\u1ed5i m\u1edbi<\/a><\/u>\u201d<\/u> (a \u201cnew era\u201d) during which Vietnamese experienced \u201cSouthern society turned upside down\u201d (116) under the Viet Cong\u2019s euphemistic guises of \u201creunification and reeducation.\u201d Barry shows these traumatic events through scenes in reeducation camps wherein those deemed \u201ctraitors\u201d to the new Communist regime are subject to backbreaking labor and cruel, inhumane torture such as being coffined alive (137). Through language, Barry also paints desperate boat people fleeing to refugee camps, many of whom meet untimely deaths at the hands of marauding pirates and rough seas (142-157)\u2014tales that unnervingly, heartbreakingly resonate with the treacherous journeys Syrian refugees have been embarking on in the past few months.<\/p>\n

Ambitious in scope, the novel also includes aspects of Vietnamese history that are not often portrayed, including Cambodians\u2019 viewpoints, however limited and militant, of long-building tensions with Vietnamese: \u201cWe must strike the Vietnamese in their beds, crush the baby in the womb\u201d (121). The Russians, on the other hand, are portrayed quite sensually, as Rabbit hears voices of the dead emanating from the body of a soldier who makes love to her in the rhythm of the sea.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in learning about Vietnamese history or enjoy the reverie of linguistic craftsmanship, Barry\u2019s novel may be for you. Though I admire Barry\u2019s marrying of poetry and history, I found myself wanting more story and character over style.<\/p>\n
