"The Interpreter is based on the true story of a Vietnamese translator who is wounded--not physically--by a love of country too pure for the contaminated choices that confront him. He searches futilely among the neat categories of allegiance imposed by warfare and foreign occupation. But he fits into none of the available boxes--not Communist, not government, not pro-American, nor one of the political dissidents who populate the shadowy warrens of Saigon. He finds no home with either the tortured or the torturers. Instead, he tries to interpret Vietnam through an evolving comradeship with an American correspondent writing for distant, weary audiences who barely listen anymore. This fictionalized character is not alone. His torment is a hidden story not only of Vietnam but of the hundreds like him who have interpreted their wartorn countries for the foreigners who perpetuate the fighting with weapons and blood."--
