What a touching story, Mary! I had no idea that Viet Thanh Nguyen had to win the Pulitzer before his father approved of his writing career. Wow! It truly is amazing how much our families affect us, even when it's in crazy and loving ways.

Lovely post and a wonderful memory for you. Viet Thanh Nguyen who won the Pulitzer Prize and the Edgar for his novel The Sympathizer said lovingly in an interview that it took winning the Pulitzer for his first novel to win his father's approval for his chosen vocation.
