I think Phuc’s book brought about some great discussions on racism and definitely had me questioning what I define racism to be. Some people are just meant to tell a story and offer thought provoking insight into what they are discussing. It always pleases me when I’m reading a book and one of the things I take away from it is the feeling that the author is extremely well spoken and intelligent. We follow Phuc up until he graduates high school and through his story we see the struggles he endured growing up as a minority in a small town, and having a father with PTSD. In his memoir Phuc details his experiences immigrating to the US during the fall of Saigon, and growing up in the small town Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Sigh, Gone is a memoir written by high school teacher and tattoo artist Phuc Tran.
