There is no such thing as a "Vietnamese script". The script for the Vietnamese language is a derivative of the Latin script.

Furthermore, the names mentioned in this article are not written in proper Vietnamese. They all have their tone marks amputated.

According to the article, this book was published in 2001. Yet it received the 1993 Pulitzer Prize?

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

Are the stories based on actual stories of real people the author has met/interviewed?

Doing a critical entry on this work, and found two stories unlisted on this page. Per google books @ https://books.google.com/books?id=sM0Nh5hHPA4C&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false there is a story called "Relic" and one called "Preparation," both of which are unmentioned entirely in the article. It appears they were present in the 1992 original based on a review of the 1992 edition in The Sewanee Review, 100.4, fall 1992. And they are also in the 2012 edition (linked above) so why are they not addressed here? It's a shame that the page for a Pulitzer winner is in such a state of disrepair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.166.109.10 (talk) 17:05, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-05-04T17:05:00.000Z","author":"165.166.109.10","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-165.166.109.10-2015-05-04T17:05:00.000Z-Table_of_Contents_Incorrect","replies":[]}}-->
