This paper argues for a re-assessment of the writings of Khái Hưng (Trần Khánh Giư, 1896-1947), a prolific writer of the Self-Reliant Literary Group (Tự lực văn đoàn) which was founded in Hanoi in 1933. Executed by the Việt Minh in 1947, Khái Hưng produced numerous fiction and journalistic works during the French colonial period and the Japanese fascist occupation period. However, Khái Hưng’s contributions have largely been erased from histories of Vietnamese literary modenrity. My paper attempts to counter these erasures by deciphering his last full-length novel, Thanh Đức (1943)
