The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen

4.0

I made the mistake of starting this book when I wasn't really in the mood for it. I'm glad I came back to it later. It is not an easy read, the satire can be complex, and the comparisons to Catch-22 are definitely on target. It was a very eye-opening book, and interesting perspective of someone who is playing both sides. I've never read anything quite like it. My version had an essay by the author after the book, read it if you can.
