'A voice that shakes the walls of the old literary comfort zone'
New Yorker 'Goes toe to toe with the original then surpasses it. A
masterwork' Marlon James, Booker Prize-winning author of a Brief
History of Seven Killings 'Fierce and unrelentingly good. Hilarious
and subversive' Tommy Orange, New York Times bestselling author of
There There ------------------------------------ It's the early
1980s and the Sympathizer arrives in Paris. As a refugee, he and
his blood brother Bon try to escape their turbulent pasts by
turning their hands to capitalism in one of its purest forms: drug
dealing. No longer in physical danger, the Sympathizer is both
charmed and disturbed by Paris. Falling in with left-wing
intellectuals and politicians at dinner parties held by his French
Vietnamese "aunt", he finds customers for his merchandise as well
as stimulation for his mind. But this new life he's living has
unforeseen dangers of oppression, addiction and the seemingly
unresolvable paradox of reuniting his two closest friends, men
whose world views stand them poles apart. The highly suspenseful
sequel to The Sympathizer, both literary thriller and brilliant
novel of ideas, The Committed is a blistering portrayal of
commitment and betrayal that will cement Viet Thanh Nguyen's
position in the firmament of American letters.
