Traumatized by his reeducation at the hands of his former best friend, and struggling to assimilate into French culture, the Sympathizer finds Paris both seductive and disturbing. As he falls in with a group of left-wing intellectuals he meets at dinner parties given by his French Vietnamese “aunt”, he finds stimulation for his mind but also customers for his narcotic merchandise. But the new life he is making has perils, whether the self-torture of addiction, the authoritarianism of a state locked in a colonial mindset, or the paradox of how to reunite his two closest friends.

I can’t put into words how much I loved The Sympathizer and The Committed. I recommend you read them in order and have the time and space the way Nguyen so beautifully depicts so many facets and dilemmas that go through the mind of the main character. I am hoping for a 3rd book!
