He was born in Quảng Nam, escaped by boat from Vietnam in 1985, emigrated first to France and then Australia in 1991. He graduated first in his class with a bachelor’s degree in literature from the Pedagogical University of Ho Chi Minh City, and later earned a doctorate, also in literature, from Victoria University in Australia. In Vietnam, he was an instructor in classical Vietnamese literature. At Victoria University, he is coordinator of the Vietnam Studies program, teaching language, literature, culture and the Vietnam War.

Nguyễn Hưng Quốc has published in most overseas Vietnamese literary journals, including Văn, Văn Học, Hợp Lưu and Talawas. With Hoàng Ngọc-Tuấn, he was the co-editor of Việt, an important journal that existed from 1998 to 2001, and since 2002, co-editor of the groundbreaking webzine Tiền Vệ, the only Vietnamese literary journal that updates its contents daily. He is considered by many writers and poets, in and out of Vietnam, as one of the most outstanding, reputable and influential Vietnamese critics alive.
