🎖️ Spy. Immigrant. Traitor. A gripping confession from a man who is all and none.
In The Sympathizer, Viet Thanh Nguyen delivers a bold, genre-defying novel that blends political thriller, war memoir, and dark satire. Set during the fall of Saigon and its chaotic aftermath, the story follows a communist double agent embedded within the South Vietnamese army—now exiled in the U.S. and reporting back to the Viet Cong. Through his conflicted lens, Nguyen explores identity, betrayal, assimilation, and the brutal contradictions of war and colonization.
