Title: Becoming Ghost Author: Cathy Linh Che Narrator: Cathy Linh Che Format: mp3 Length: 1 hr and 22 mins Release date: 04-29-25 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 1 rating Genres: Themes & Styles Publisher's Summary: The follow-up to her acclaimed poetry debut Split, Becoming Ghost documents Cathy Linh Che’s parents’ experiences as refugees who escaped the Vietnam War and then were cast as extras in Francis Ford Coppola’s film Apocalypse Now, placing them at the margins of their own story. The poetry collection uses persona, speculation, and the golden shovel form as a means of moving Vietnamese voices from the periphery to the center. The speaker’s disownment raises questions about the challenges of using parents as subjects, telling familial stories to a broader public, and the meaning of forgiveness.
