Cement Factory No.9: Tales from a Hanoi Bookshop

Ever had a bookshop fantasy?
An accidental journey begins in a small English language bookshop and leads you through the winding backstreets of Hanoi.
Evocative bite-sized vignettes about life, circuses, the streets and the people of Vietnam’s northern capital.
All the while, battling counterfeiting book thugs, censorship and hiding out with Imperialist-Running-Dogs.
Stories from Hanoi at the start of the new millennium, Cement Factory No.9 is an ode to a country in transition, where the rules were rubbery and a decent read was in short supply.
