"This anthology, named The perfume river after one of Vietnam's most poetic waterways, draws together writing 'from Vietnam' in every sense. The writers live in vietnam and a number of other countries. Some are of Vietnamese background, others are not. For all, Vietnam has defined itself as a voice of inspiration, of homeland, memory and discovery."-- Book jacket.

In The Perfume River, Wyatt Branning receives news that his good friend's daughter is missing, and it's sent chills up and down his spine. He knows what it's like to have a loved one disappear, as his brother, a military pilot, went missing in Viet Nam. Their disappearances happened at different times, twenty-five years apart, in fact, yet the horrific events are no less painful to family and friends who must wait, endure, and pray. From each family's perspective, their loss is no different than what others endure after learning someone they love has disappeared, whether on the street, a town somewhere far from home, or during combat in some God forsaken war. They'll tell you that from day one the experience is a haunting, horrifying mystery, one destined to stay with them until resolved, good, or bad.The pilot's story and Wyatt's efforts to save him are the heart of The Perfume River. It's perplexing, if not purely disturbing, that Wyatt hasn't succeeded in fulfilling the promise to his parents that he would find him. As reflected in this sweeping epic, cases involving missing persons are the highest form of mysteries, and hence the most difficult to solve. The truth is, sometimes even the most benign, good faith ventures to bring the missing home lead to unbridled peril and mayhem, and chance weighs as heavily in the outcome as the most rigorous, well-intended investigations.If you're a curious soul, consider wading into The Perfume River. Join the search for Wyatt's missing brother that has baffled him and his trusted colleagues for so many years in a land so far away. Come on, jump in the river's tempestuous waters and see if you can help solve this mystery. Admit it, you're good at unraveling the unknown when others can't. The Perfume River is a pulsating, sophisticated tale of suspense. The story takes readers to Dublin, London, South Carolina, Florida, California, Morocco, Hawaii, New York, and Việt Nam. Although the tale's genesis can be traced to the hostilities in Việt Nam and status of his Wyatt's brother's life, this is not a war novel. It's about people confronting adversity, belief in causes, and the unrelenting turmoil that we often face while trying to deal with mysteries in our lives. The novel's strengths lie in the author's characters, including strong, leading females; depiction of the volatility of human relationships; vivid imagination; and superb story telling. Those qualities equally are seen in his published novels, The Senator's Note, Sweet Norma Lorene, The Dreams from Sweet Norma Lorene, and the soon to be released The Photos Behind the Closet Wall. Coming next from the author is the historical fiction saga, Nassa Sparrow, and a biography on a WW II Naval hero the world needs to meet, someone who survived the horrific damage and loss of life on one ship, and the sinking of three others, the best the Navy had during the Pacific campaign.

About Perfume River A lot went into this collection of poems, particularly as it took so long to pull the collection together. I'm one of those unfortunates who looked up my life expectancy and assumed I had years to get it together in the poetry department. 78 years? Please, I'm not even 50. I lived my life chasing bylines for my articles, and then agents for my novel manuscripts, and my poems...well, my poems. They sat getting written and accumulating time. Until one day I learned that those life expectancy lists were missing a couple of words. The set of numbers should begin with "Anywhere from...: " to ..".Right here." Stage 4 renal cell carcinoma. Average five year life expectancy after diagnosis: eight percent. Hope is a carousel, spinning into the future.

A powerful novel of a family haunted by the aftershocks of the Vietnam War—from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of a A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain. “You share a war in one way. You pass it on in another.” Passionate student activism brought Robert Quinlan together with his future wife during the tumultuous years of the Vietnam War. But since then, the long-married Florida university professors have grown apart. Their crumbling relationship is mirrored by Robert’s estrangement from his brother . . . alienated by the same controversial war. Now, with their father—a World War II veteran—lying close to death, the rift in the family is sorely tested when Robert’s brother refuses to put the past aside and return to say goodbye. And when Robert mistakes a homeless stranger for a fellow Vietnam veteran, his unstable presence in their lives will further stir the emotional scars that shattered the Quinlan men . . . and take its toll on those they love most. “Butler’s Faulknerian shuttling back and forth across the decades has less to do with literary pyrotechnics than with cutting to the chase. Perfume River hits its marks with a high-stakes intensity . . . Butler’s prose is fluid, and his handling of his many time-shifts as lucid as it is urgent. His descriptive gifts don’t extend just to his characters’ traits or their Florida and New Orleans settings, but to the history he’s addressing.” —Michael Upchurch, New York Times Book Review “Butler moves easily among his characters to create a composite portrait of a family that has been wrecked by choices made during the Vietnam War.” —Beth Nguyen, San Francisco Chronicle “The story builds its force with great care . . . Its power is that we want to keep reading. The entire journey is masterfully rendered, Butler lighting a path back into the cave, completely unafraid.” —Benjamin Busch, Washington Post “Butler greatly enlarges our sense of what the Vietnam War cost to a generation . . . Perfume River tells a human story that sums up an entire era of American life.” —Miami Herald “Butler’s assured, elegant novel . . . speaks eloquently of the way the past bleeds into the present, history reverberates through individual lives, and mortality challenges our perceptions of ourselves and others.” —Publishers Weekly “A heartbreaking story of fathers and sons and their expectations and disappointments . . . Perfume River is a powerful work that asks profound questions about betrayal and loyalty.” —BookPage

Their unlikely friendship is the backdrop for a story about believing in the future and reconciling the past, as Sam navigates her way through the Minnesota seasons in search of happiness. Perfume River takes you on an emotional journey, introducing you to a cast of compelling characters, each one bringing something to the table that helps Sam figure out how to move forward and embrace what's in her heart.

From one of America's most important writers, Perfume River is an exquisite novel that examines family ties and the legacy of the Vietnam War through the portrait of a single North Florida family.Robert Quinlan is a seventy-year-old historian, teaching at Florida State University, where his wife Darla is also tenured. Their marriage, forged in the fervor of anti-Vietnam-war protests, now bears the fractures of time, both personal and historical, with the couple trapped in an existence of morning coffee and solitary jogging and separate offices. For Robert and Darla, the cracks remain under the surface, whereas the divisions in Robert's own family are more apparent: he has almost no relationship with his brother Jimmy, who became estranged from the family as the Vietnam War intensified. Robert and Jimmy's father, a veteran of WWII, is coming to the end of his life, and aftershocks of war ripple across their lives once again, when Jimmy refuses to appear at his father's bedside. And an unstable homeless man whom Robert at first takes to be a fellow Vietnam veteran turns out to have a deep impact not just on Robert, but on his entire family.
