About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

  • Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 1993
"Butler's literary ventriloquism, as he mines the experiences of a people with a great literary tradition of their own, is uncanny; but his talents as a writer of universal truths is what makes this a collection for the ages." (Amazon.com review)

Thoroughly enjoyingthese stories but a shame the author does not know one woman he would trust to read those stories which are written in the female voice. Sometimes when listening one does not know it is the female voice until the first feminine personal pronoun is encountered. It would make better listening, and vary the audio experience when listening to the short stories.

Beautiful stories but. .
