The Sorrow of War
The Sorrow of War ((ベトナム語:Nỗi buồn chiến tranh)) is a 1990 novel by the Vietnamese writer Bao Ninh. The novel was Ninh's graduation project at the Nguyen Du Writing School in Hanoi and "has been translated into many languages, including German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Danish, Norwegian and Polish" (Nguyen 880). It tells the story of a soldier who is collecting dead bodies after a battle and then begins to think about his past. The novel won the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize.
==Original Version and English Version==
Bảo Ninh achieved prominence in Hanoi with the first version of the novel, ''Thân phận của tình yêu'' (literally, The Destiny of Love), which was published in roneo form (similar to photocopying) before 1990. Soon afterwards Phan Thanh Hao translated it into English and took the manuscript to the British publishers Secker & Warburg. Geoffrey Mulligan, an editor there, commissioned Frank Palmos, an Australian journalist who had reported on the Vietnam War and written about it in his book ''Ridding the Devils'' (1990), to write an English version based on the raw translation. Bao Ninh had read Phan Thanh Hao's Vietnamese translation of ''Ridding the Devils'' and was willing to accept this arrangement. After several meetings with both the author and the translator, Hao, in Hanoi, and journeys throughout Vietnam to check details, Palmos wrote the English version over seven months . It was published in 1994 under the title ''The Sorrow of War''.
Counterfeits of the English version became widely available in Vietnam, aimed at the tourist trade.〔The original author of this entry bought his counterfeit copy from a vendor in Hanoi.〕 Counterfeit sales have reportedly far exceeded sales of the original edition.
''The Sorrow of War'' was not published in Vietnamese, under the title ''Nỗi buồn chiến tranh'', until at least ten years after its publication in English. It has since been translated into fourteen other languages, usually from the English version rather than from the Vietnamese original.
