The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen
A heavy book-- the second half really picks up.
It's heavy because it threatens to be so many other books -- an immigrant experience book, a war book, a spy book -- on the way in the end to be a much more philosophical book about existence and doubleness and memory.
And a truly pentrating look at the past fifty years from inside a Vietnamese mind.
