THE SYMPATHIZER - VIET THANH NGUYEN KARTONIERT ...

A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice Shortlisted for the 2016 Andrew Carnegie Medal for
Excellence in Fiction The Sympathizer is a Vietnam War novel unlike any other. A gripping spy
novel  an astute exploration of extreme politics  and a moving love story  it explores a life
between two worlds and examines the legacy of the Vietnam War in literature  film  and the wars
we fight today. An absurdist tour de force that might have been written by a Kafka or Genet'
New York Times Book Review 'Extraordinary ... Surely a new classic of war fiction ... I haven't
read anything since Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four that illustrates so palpably how a patient
tyrant  unmoored from all human constraint  can reduce a man's mind to liquid' Washington Post
'An important new perspective on the Vietnam War . . . The Sympathizer will both startle and
grip you' BuzzFeed 'I cannot remember the last time I read a novel whose protagonist I liked so
much. Smart  funny  and self-critical  with a keen sense of when to let a story speak for
itself ... [Nguyen] proves a gifted and bold satirist' Barnes & Noble Review
