About the book
A novel of espionage and identity set during the fall of Saigon in 1975. The narrator is a Vietnamese double agent who worked for the Americans during the Vietnam War and is now in exile in the US, reliving traumatic memories and questioning his loyalty, his country, and his own humanity. Viet Thanh Nguyen weaves a compelling narrative that explores the scars of war, exile, and the search for redemption.
With polished prose and a perspective that challenges conventional Western narratives about Vietnam, this is a novel that combines political suspense with emotional depth and reflection on colonialism and conflict.
