Yellow won the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the Members Choice Award from the Asian American Writers' Workshop.

In spring 2006, Don did a reading for the Four Stories series, run by the inimitable, quite charming Tracy Slater, and she's put up an mp3 of the reading. Don read an edited version of a little story called "A Preference for Native Tongue," which appeared in the Summer 2006 edition of The Kenyon Review.

A little short-short story by Don called "Abercrombie & Fitch" was in the Spring 2004 issue of the online magazine failbetter. 

Don's stories from Yellow were in two anthologies about Asian American writers: Charlie Chan Is Dead 2, edited by Jessica Hagedorn, and Screaming Monkeys, edited by M. Evelina Galang. 

The story "The Possible Husband" won an O. Henry Award (2002 edition, edited by Larry Dark).

The story "The Price of Eggs in China" won a Pushcart Prize.
