This copy has been SIGNED by Robert Olen Butler on the title page. The author's first book of short fiction, and he offers a compelling chorus of voices that depicts another, heretofore unspoken, legacy of the Vietnam War - the experiences and memories of the many Vietnamese expatriates living in their adopted home of America. This title won both the 1993 Pulitzer Prize and the prestigious Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. A small remainder mark on the top edge accounts for the grading.
