The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen

$17.00

Now an HBO Limited Series

The winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, as well as seven other awards, and compared by critics to the works of Graham Greene, Denis Johnson, and George Orwell, The Sympathizer is a blistering exploration of identity, politics, and America. The narrator, a communist double agent, is a “man of two minds,” a half-French, half-Vietnamese army captain who arranges to come to America after the Fall of Saigon, and while building a new life with other Vietnamese refugees in Los Angeles is secretly reporting back to his communist superiors in Vietnam.

The Sympathizer is a powerful story of love and friendship and a grippling espionage novel.
