A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain (Google Books ⧉, Amazon ⧉, Bookshop ⧉)

The Sympathizer

Not only does Viet Thanh Nguyen bring a rare and authentic voice to the body of American literature generated by the Vietnam War, he has created a book that transcends history and politics and nationality and speaks to the enduring theme of literature: the universal quest for self, for identity. The Sympathizer is a stellar debut by a writer of depth and skill. —Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain
