The Washington Hotel (hardcover - color inside) - Nguyen Duc Nam

Mr. Nam Duc Nguyen, after the painful upheaval of April 30, 1975-the day the

The Republic of Vietnam was forcibly extinguished-went through many arduous

stages in his life.

After leaving the refugee camp, penniless and without a profession, he began his

life anew, working as an auto mechanic, a gas station attendant, frying chicken for

Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants... and eventually, he found a stable, permanent

employment with a future: working in the hotel technical services industry in

Washington, D.C.

The reportage novel Washington Hotel by writer Nguyễn Đức Nam portrays both

the hardships and the moments of joy, sorrow, and romance experienced during his

time working at the hotel.

Washington Hotel is a humorous and truthful story about the ups and downs of a

profession, written with the keen observation of someone who lived it from the

inside.
