“[A] remarkable debut novel.”—Philip

Caputo, New York Times Book Review (cover

review)

Winner of the 2016 Pulitzer

Prize, a startling debut novel from a powerful new voice featuring one of the

most remarkable narrators of recent fiction: a conflicted subversive and

idealist working as a double agent in the aftermath of the Vietnam

War.

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.
