The winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, as well as seven 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.
