A Conversation with Viet Thanh Nguyen || Celebrating the French translation of his novel The Committed

In the follow-up to his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Sympathizer, we follow Viet Thanh Nguyen’s narrator to Paris in the 1980s.

This conversation with the author, led by Professors Lydie Moudileno (French, Comparative Literature, and American Studies and Ethnicity) and Panivong Norindr (French and Comparative Literature), will be the opportunity to discuss both this new transnational context as well as issues of migration, language, and translation.

Sponsored by the Departments of Comparative Literature, French and Italian, and the Graduate Certificate in Translation Studies
