[edit] "Vietnamese script"

There is no such thing as a "Vietnamese script". The script for the Vietnamese language is a derivative of the Latin script. DHN 00:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore, the names mentioned in this article are not written in proper Vietnamese. They all have their tone marks amputated. DHN 00:25, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Publishing date

According to the article, this book was published in 2001. Yet it received the 1993 Pulitzer Prize? DHN 00:27, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

In 2001 Robert Olen Butler re-released the book with the addition of a few new stories.

[edit] Based on fact?

Are the stories based on actual stories of real people the author has met/interviewed? Badagnani 03:50, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
