"[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.
