✅ Summary :

Monique Truong's 2003 novel, The Book of Salt, is a work of historical and biographical fiction told from the perspective of Bình, a gay Vietnamese man working as a cook in the Parisian home of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas in the 1930s. On the day his employers, whom he calls "Mesdames," are departing for America, Bình recalls his life story. His stream-of-consciousness narrative weaves between his present circumstances in Paris and memories from his past, painting a portrait of his identity and his struggle with exile and alienation.
