The RefugeesFrom the author of The Sympathizer, winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, The Refugees is the second piece of fiction from a powerful voice in American letters, praised as "beautiful and heartrending" (Joyce Carol Oates, New Yorker), "terrific" (Chicago Tribune), and "an important and incisive book" (Washington Post) Published in hardcover to astounding acclaim, The Refugees is the remarkable debut collection of short stories by Viet Thanh

From the author of The Sympathizer, winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, The Refugees is the second piece of fiction from a powerful voice in American letters, praised as "beautiful and heartrending" (Joyce Carol Oates, New Yorker), "terrific" (Chicago Tribune), and "an important and incisive book" (Washington Post)

Published in hardcover to astounding acclaim, The Refugees is the remarkable debut collection of short stories by Viet Thanh Nguyen, winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his novel The Sympathizer. In these powerful stories, written over a period of twenty years and set in both Vietnam and America, Nguyen paints a vivid portrait of the experiences of people leading lives between two worlds, the adopted homeland and the country of birth.

With the same incisiveness as in The Sympathizer, in The Refugees Viet Thanh Nguyen gives voice to the hopes and expectations of people making life-changing decisions to leave one country for another, and the rifts in identity, loyalties, romantic relationships, and family that accompany relocation. From a young Vietnamese refugee who suffers profound culture shock when he comes to live with two gay men in San Francisco, to a woman whose husband is suffering from dementia and starts to confuse her for a former lover, to a girl living in Ho Chi Minh City whose older half-sister comes back from America having seemingly accomplished everything she never will, the stories are a captivating testament to the dreams and hardships of migration.

The second work of fiction by a major new voice in American letters, The Refugees is a beautifully written and sharply observed book about the aspirations of those who leave one country for another, and the relationships and desires for self-fulfillment that define our lives.

Gentle, soothing, and perfect for sensitive skin
Scent: Unscented, Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel for sensitive skin for a few weeks, and it has quickly become one of my favourite cleansers. Despite having combination skin that’s prone to redness and sensitivity, this gel never dries me out or causes irritation. The texture is a clear gel that transforms into a light, airy foam — so gentle and refreshing. It rinses off completely without leaving any tightness or residue . What I love most about it: • foams lightly yet cleans thoroughly — removes dirt, oil and even light makeup without stripping the skin ; • unscented, soap-free, non-comedogenic, and pH‑balanced, so it respects my skin’s natural barrier ; • leaves skin feeling hydrated, soft and calm, not tight or dry . In my routine, I use this gel morning and evening. It’s perfect for days when my skin is more reactive — calming without being stripping. Even after wearing light sunscreen or daily foundation, my face feels fresh and balanced post-wash. ✅ Gentle enough for daily use ✅ Keeps skin barrier intact ✅ Effective at cleansing without irritation This cleanser is now a permanent part of my skincare lineup. I definitely plan to repurchase — ideal for anyone seeking a reliable, ultra‑gentle everyday cleanser.

Gentle, Refreshing, and Perfect for Sensitive Skin!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 500ml / 16.7 Fl Oz, Scent: Unscented, Size: 500ml / 16.7 Fl Oz
I absolutely love the Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel! I have very sensitive skin, and most cleansers either dry it out or leave a tight feeling afterward — but not this one. It has a smooth, silky texture that turns into a soft foam and removes makeup easily without any irritation. My skin feels clean, fresh, and hydrated after every use. I really like that it’s unscented, which makes it perfect for sensitive or allergy-prone skin. Even around my eyes it feels gentle and doesn’t sting at all. I’ve been using it morning and night for a couple of weeks, and I already notice that my skin looks calmer, less red, and very soft to the touch. A small amount goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while too. Overall, this is one of the best cleansers I’ve ever used — gentle yet effective, and ideal for anyone with sensitive skin. Definitely deserves 5 stars!
