About Mỹ Documents by Kevin Nguyen
Published by One World in 2025, Mỹ Documents is a speculative novel about a policy that sends Vietnamese Americans to internment camps after violent attacks spark national panic. Four cousins in the Nguyen family face sharply different consequences: Jen and Duncan are detained with their mother, while Ursula and Alvin receive exemptions.
Inside Camp Tacoma, Jen and Duncan contend with isolation and unwanted work. When Jen finds a way to send messages outside, Ursula sees a chance to report on the camp—and to advance her journalism career. Drawing on the histories of Japanese incarceration, the Vietnam War, and modern immigrant detention, the novel may interest readers of literary and historical fiction concerned with racism, family, ambition, and government power.
