“A magnificent feat of storytelling. The Sympathizer is a novel of literary, historical, and political importance.”

–MAXINE HONG KINGSTON, author of The Fifth Book of Peace
“A new classic of war fiction...a cerebral thriller...Nguyen plumbs the loneliness of human life, the costs of fraternity and the tragic limits of our sympathy.”

–RON CHARLES, The Washington Post
“Compares favorably with masters like Conrad, Greene and le  Carré...an absurdist tour de force that might have been written by a Kafka or Genet.”
