This book brings together 15 dialogues between critic Hoang Dang Khoa and 17 prominent figures from many different spaces of Vietnamese contemporary literary life. Although these 17 characters differ in their career age, popularity and creative path, there is one thing in common that they always exist as "differences", strong personalities. In dialogue with these characters, Hoang Dang Khoa attracts readers with a slow, careful but equally open-minded narrative, ready to criticize, debate, and frankly raise the issue. His way of asking stories is compelling, convincing because it is rich in academic scholarship, shows the reading and vision of an experienced critic, closely attached to the lively and fresh changes of literary life, showing the observant mind and understanding of a companion. Hoang Dang Khoa is not only "on the side of the difference" but he is also a "difference".
