Hanoi, Walking Through the Noise

Hanoi greets you with noise and chaos. From the moment you step out of the airport, you find yourself standing in the middle of the city. The humid air, the layered blare of horns, the voices of street vendors, the author recreates every one of those sensations in words and drops the reader right at the entrance of Hanoi's first alleyway. The confession that even a seventh visit feels like arriving in an unfamiliar city becomes the central question of this book.
