The Vietnamese novel ‘Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass’ (Toi Thay Hoa Vang Tren Co Xanh) by Nguyen Nhat Anh, has been published in Japan, according to Youth Publishing House.
The novel was translated into
Japanese by Prof Kato Sakae, who previously translated the Japanese version of
Anh’s novel "Mat Biec” (Deep blue eyes).
Prof Kato Sakae said one of the highlights of Nguyen Nhat Anh's novel is that
the characters are invested with such unique qualities, that even when the
novels are put down, they still appear vividly in the readers' minds.
Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass’
tells the story of deprived childhood in a rural village with 81 chapters which
function as 81 short stories.
The story was adapted into a movie by
Vietnamese-American director Victor Vu in October 2015,
receiving praise from film experts and readers.
The film is now screening at cinemas
in Japan.
Prof Kato Sakae hopes that Japanese
readers will find illuminating perspectives of Vietnam’s society and culture
through both the film and novel.
