Other awardees include former President Barack Obama, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, author Ta-Nehisi Coates and actor Tom Hanks.<\/p>\n<p>Posting a portion of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amacad.org\/content\/news\/pressReleases.aspx?pr=20291\" target=\"_blank\">AAAS announcement<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/viet_t_nguyen\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, Nguyen expressed awe at being associated with one name in particular: &ldquo;I shivered a little to see my name next to Barack Obama in this announcement about our selection as members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>With his election, Nguyen joins prominent historical figures such as Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein and Martin Luther King Jr.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This was a completely unexpected honor, for which I&rsquo;m grateful,&rdquo; Nguyen said.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Nguyen <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/stories\/2316\/usc-dornsifes-viet-thanh-nguyen-wins-pulitzer-prize-for-fiction\/\" target=\"_blank\">won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction<\/a> with his novel <i>The Sympathizer<\/i> (Grove Press, 2015), which takes an unconventional and critical look at differing perspectives on the Vietnam War. Last year, he became only the sixth USC faculty member to be named a <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/stories\/2686\/usc-dornsifes-viet-thanh-nguyen-wins-prestigious-macarthur-found\/\" target=\"_blank\">MacArthur Fellow<\/a> and received a Guggenheim Fellowship earlier that year. In February, USC President C. L. Max Nikias named him a University Professor.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Professor Nguyen applies his extraordinary talent as a scholar, writer and advocate to help us build empathy and broaden our understanding of the world,&rdquo; said USC Dornsife Dean Amber D. Miller. &ldquo;USC Dornsife is proud to join in celebrating his election as an academy fellow.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>With <i>The Sympathizer<\/i>, Nguyen has garnered numerous accolades, including the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Literary Excellence from the American Library Association and a California Book Award. <i>Nothing Ever Dies: Vietnam and the Memory of War<\/i> (Harvard University Press, 2016), his follow-up, nonfiction companion piece to <i>The Sympathizer<\/i>, was <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/stories\/2426\/literary-lion-viet-thanh-nguyen-is-short-listed-for-the-national\/\" target=\"_blank\">a finalist for the National Book Awards<\/a> in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Additional works, including <i>The Refugees<\/i> (Grove Press, 2017) and the just released <i>The Displaced: Refugee Writers on Refugee Lives<\/i> (Harry N.
