title = "The transdiasporic turn towards multiplicity in contemporary Francophone and American Việt Kiều literature",
abstract = "This chapter reveals how Vietnamese American writer Viet Thanh Nguyen and Vietnamese Francophone author Anna Mo{\"i} make important new contributions to advancing the {\textquoteleft}transdiasporic turn{\textquoteright} in contemporary Việt Kiều literature. I trace the trajectory of a literary engagement with depictions of transdiasporic interrelations in Mo{\"i}'s Le venin du papillon (2017) and Nguyen's The Sympathizer (2015) and The Committed (2021). These novels demonstrate an expansion of the notion of the transdiasporic through a proliferation of Deleuzian multiplicities. In turn, I argue that multiplicitous forms of diasporic subjectivity constitute the identifying feature of an evolving Vietnamese transdiasporic literature.",
