SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion - The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen
DESCRIPTION:“It is April 1975\, and Saigon is in chaos. At his villa\, a general of the South Vietnamese army is drinking whiskey and\, with the help of his trusted captain\, drawing up a list of those who will be given passage aboard the last flights out of the country. The general and his compatriots start a new life in Los Angeles\, unaware that one among their number\, the captain\, is secretly observing and reporting on the group to a higher-up in the Viet Cong. The Sympathizer is the story of this captain: a man brought up by an absent French father and a poor Vietnamese mother\, a man who went to university in America\, but returned to Vietnam to fight for the Communist cause. A gripping spy novel\, an astute exploration of extreme politics\, and a moving love story\, The Sympathizer explores a life between two worlds and examines the legacy of the Vietnam War in literature\, film\, and the wars we fight today.”–Publisher description. \nAwards:Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction\nCenter for Fiction First Novel Prize\nAsian/Pacific American Award for Literature\nPulitzer Prize for Fiction\, 2016\nEdgar Award for Best First Novel by an American Author\, Mystery Writers of America\, 2016 \nThird Thursday is an informal group\, open to all\, no sign up necessary.
