It\u2019s Write-minded<\/a>\u2019s 300th episode! And we\u2019re celebrating by bringing listeners the esteemed Viet Thanh Nguyen, whose novel,\u00a0The Sympathizer<\/em>, was adapted for HBO Max and started streaming in April. In this interview, Nguyen addresses didacticism as a craft choice, the mindset of writers who, like him, find themselves between two languages, and how his desire to capture the Vietnamese perspective on the Vietnam War (and more) made him a writer. Nguyen\u2019s generosity and enthusiasm for his work and his craft shine through in every answer, and Write-minded<\/a> is grateful to cap this milestone with such a beloved author and guest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
