The winner of the
2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, as well as six other awards, The
Sympathizer is the breakthrough novel of the year. With the pace and
suspense of a thriller and prose that has been compared to Graham Greene and
Saul Bellow, The Sympathizer is a sweeping epic of love and betrayal. 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 blistering exploration of identity and America, a gripping
espionage novel, and a powerful story of love and friendship.
