Humbert Humbert (Google Books ⧉, Amazon ⧉, Bookshop ⧉)

The Sympathizer

I think I’d have to go all the way back to Nabokov’s Humbert Humbert to find the last narrative voice that so completely conked me over the head and took me prisoner. Nguyen and his unnamed protagonist certainly have made a name for themselves with one of the smartest, darkest, funniest books you’ll read this year. —David Abrams, author of Fobbit
