Viet Thanh Nguyen burst onto the literary scene with The Sympathizer, an "intelligent, relentlessly paced and savagely funny" (Wall Street Journal) debut novel that won 2016's Pulitzer Prize for fiction. The world has been awaiting the next chapter for Nguyen's unforgettable antihero, a half-French, half-Vietnamese double agent in the Vietnam War. Nguyen is back with The Committed. Booker Prize winner Marlon James calls it "a sequel that goes toe to toe with the original then surpasses it. A masterwork."
