Problem: In "On True War Stories," Viet Thanh Nguyen discusses a violent scene in a Vietnam War novel that leaves him "feeling alone with [his] feelings, without the comfort provided by the author telling [him] that this was wrong...This is when I realized that some things are so nasty the writer should simply show them as they are. The ugliness is, and must be, unforgettable."
