Norman Lewis’s 'A Dragon Apparent: Travels in Indo-China' offers a richly observed and often elegiac account of French Indo-china—Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia—on the cusp of decolonization. Through a combination of travel narrative, cultural anthropology, and political reportage, Lewis captures a region poised between ancient tradition and the encroaching forces of modernity and conflict. His prose, marked by precision and wit, reveals both the beauty and fragility of indigenous ways of life under threat from colonial decay and emerging revolutionary movements.
