A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain

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.
