About This Item
First edition/2nd printing; inscribed by the author on the title page. A very good book that shows a mild slant to the binding and some shelf wear to both spine ends; housed in a very good dust jacket that shows minor rubbing to the spine ends and mild, spotty staining to the front cover. Otherwise, a tight and bright copy protected in a mylar cover.

On Mar 30 2005, Ash Grove Heirloom Books said:
Pulitzer Prize winning collection of short stories fictionalized from interviews of Vietnamese living in Lake Charles area of New Orleans. These are the stories of the people who really lost the war and their homeland, the exiles.
