In this accessible deep-dive into the careers of Tr¿nh Công S¿n and Bob Dylan, Schafer retells countless colorful stories from the two artists' lives drawn from a wide range of Vietnamese and English-language sources. Tr¿nh Công S¿n and Bob Dylan evaluates the relationship between two of the 20th century's most beloved and essential songwriters, in the process illuminating Vietnamese and American views on spirituality, romance, philosophy, identity, and conflict.

Schafer critically examines the singers' lifestyles, relationships, and public statements, meticulously collecting primary and secondary sources into a handy reader of 20th century global literary culture.
