Is Dornford YATES known on that side of the Pond? His novels (written between the wars) were very 'British'.

NGUYEN Ton Hoan, former South Vietnam deputy premier

There are actually a lot of people named Nguyen; it's a very common name in Vietnam, I am told.

It's getting more and more common here, given the number of immigrants we have around. There's lots of Nguyens that have library cards with us.
