People in Vietnam, as of 2010, seem largely uninterested in Tim O'Brien's and Americans storytelling of the U.S. war in Vietnam. Partly due to censorship, but also to other factors such as Vietnam being the winning side, it becomes hard for Vietnamese people to identify or even understand the sadness included in O'Brien's work.
Fortunately, something that the Vietnamese seem to be interested in is surrealism - not being real experience. Maybe with Tim O'Brien being published in local language his view can be known.
