Note: The Vietnamese words in the original version of this essay used diacritical marks. To comply with New York Times style, the marks were removed before publication.

Unfortunately, this practice alters the meaning of the words. In the case of Hỏa LΓ² Prison, for example, β€œhỏa” means β€œfire,” and β€œlò” means β€œfurnace”: the Burning Furnace Prison. Without the marks, β€œhoa” means β€œflowers,” and β€œlo” means β€œworry,” rendering the term β€œHoa Lo” meaningless. I look forward to the day when The Times and other Western publications celebrate the richness and complexity of Vietnamese, and of all other languages, by showcasing them in their original formats.

This is already an extraordinary piece on the literature of Việt Nam in the New York Times, but this note especially blew me awayβ€”what a powerful argument against house style when it comes to foreign languages:

A color photo of a delicate and fluffy white medium-haired cat sitting on a window ledge. They are looking at the camera. What makes this photo extra special is that the cat is backlight by the sun coming through the window, the light illuminating their fluffy hair making them appear so luminous and angelic.

This is one of my top ten favorite photos from my collection. A luminous angelbaby from the 1960s.
