Early praise is rolling in for THE MIGRANT RAIN FALLS IN REVERSE! Publishers Weekly calls it "Inventive. . . [Nguyen] nimbly transports readers to a blurry past and immerses them in the biographical ambiguities of life as a refugee."

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
