About The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen:

Viet Thanh Nguyen's Pulitzer Prize–winning book depicts the secret life of an unnamed Vietnamese man, grappling with various identities, whose story begins with the evacuation of Saigon, continues with his life living in America after the war, and ends with a shocking twist. Written in the form of a confession, this darkly humorous tale is a brilliant, long-overdue addition to the canon of immigrant literature.

Part spy novel, part political thriller, and part satire, The Sympathizer offers smart, scathing, and timely commentary on the state of race, class, war, politics, and the media.

The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of fiction.
