But that's still not enough because readers, those who love literature, always want to know and understand more, more clearly, about the works as well as the everyday lives of the authors they admire.

Perhaps, understanding that longing, the relatives of Xuan Quynh and Luu Quang Vu, in one way or another, have shared their memories of the deceased over the years.

Writing a memoir about loved ones is not easy, especially in the midst of a hectic modern life, always busy and lacking the quiet time to reminisce about those in our memories.

Perhaps that is why author Luu Tuan Anh, son of poet Xuan Quynh, even though he had already truly matured and started writing the first lines in the autumn of 2004, it took nine years for the manuscript to be completed and gradually become "Windy Windows ".

In this memoir, in the most intimate setting, readers will find a Xuân Quỳnh, a Lưu Quang Vũ, a little Mí, an artist Lưu Tuấn, and a Lưu Minh Vũ who are very close to them, sharing subtle affection and a simple way of life.

The book doesn't have many pages, but every line is filled with affection and images that are being published for the first time.

These airy windows will also help readers better understand and further explore the hidden values ​​that Xuan Quynh and Luu Quang Vu embedded in their works, as well as in their short but meaningful lives.

Author Luu Tuan Anh shared: "The stories in this book are a collection of memories that I spent nine years recalling and rearranging."
