The Refugees - Viet Thanh Nguyen

Joined a book club, and this was the first read for me - and it was a great choice. Each story in this collection was full of potential for discussion, so much so that we ran over our allotted time and could have kept talking. Standouts for me were "War Years," "The Americans," and the first story, "Black-Eyed Women," which was startling and a perfect way to set the tone for the book overall. Highly recommended.

I'm using this book as my choice for Blue in the Color-Coded Reading Challenge, too:
