Very interesting point of view.

I thought that this book was a well written insight into the culture and customs of Vietnamese people.

Since this was written pretty close to the end of the Vietman War (4 years) I can see where it could be "maybe" a contender for a pulitzer, but 30 years later? I don't know. It gives you insight into what the Vietnamese refugees went through starting over here in America, but to me it seemed like, oh I don't know, boring. It was just a bunch of short stories that left you most of the time saying "what"? I am glad that I read it, I would have never picked it out myself. One must broaden ones horizons.
