De Sympathisant by Viet Thanh Nguyen
A searing, darkly comic spy novel narrated by a half‑French, half‑Vietnamese communist double agent embedded in the South Vietnamese army who flees to America after the fall of Saigon. He chronicles his covert mission for the North while living among the expatriate community in Los Angeles and serving as a cultural advisor on an American film about the war, exposing tangled loyalties, moral ambiguity, and the fraught politics of identity and exile. With a confessional, often witty voice, the narrative interrogates betrayal, ideology, colonial legacies, and the violence inherent in storytelling.
