The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen

  • A half-French, half-Vietnamese sleeper
    agent struggles with his dual identity and
    fractured loyalties while spying on exiled
    generals in Los Angeles after the
    Vietnam War. His "confession" reveals a
    searing, often graphic critique of both
    American culture and communist
    ideology.
