- catalog abstract ""In "The Year Five," Nguyen Van Trinh, one of the boat people who left Vietnam after the war, is living in a squalid refugee camp on Bidong Island.

"In "The Public Spectacle," Bridget and Owen Greef, two misfits, have been growing apart because of his obsession with chess and Bobby Fischer. They both must come to terms with the fact that they are - as a couple and as individuals - permanent outsiders."
