Năm cuốn sách Bill Gates thích nhất trong năm 2017 có hai cuốn là của tác giả gốc Việt

The Best We Could Do" by Thi Bui (2017)

This autobiographic graphic novel follows the daughter of Vietnamese refugees who came to the US after the fall of Saigon in 1975.

She learns a heartbreaking truth about the sacrifices her parents made for her and her siblings, as well as the turmoil created by French and American occupation in Vietnam.
"I thought she did a great job capturing how daunting it feels to be responsible for your family," Gates wrote. "At the same time, her family's experience is different from most (and certainly mine). It's clear that a lot of the dysfunction surrounding her childhood is a direct result of what happened in Vietnam."

"The Sympathizer"  by Viet Thanh Nguyen (2015)

Nguyen's Pulitzer-winning historical fiction novel is about a Vietnamese double agent who spies on a refugee community in Los Angeles on behalf of the North Vietnamese government.

The book offers insight into what it was like to be caught between two sides of the Vietnam War, Gates said.

"Nguyen doesn't shy away from how traumatic the Vietnam War was for everyone involved. Nor does he pass judgment about where his narrator's loyalties should lie," Gates wrote. "Most war stories are clear about which side you should root for — 'The Sympathizer' doesn't let the reader off the hook so easily."
