Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 1993
Robert Olen Butler's lyrical and poignant collection of stories about
the aftermath of the Vietnam War and its impact on the Vietnamese was
acclaimed by critics across the nation and won the Pulitzer Prize in
1993. This edition includes two subsequently published stories--"Salem"
and "Missing"--that brilliantly complete the collection's narrative
journey with a return to the jungles of Vietnam.
