1. El simpatizante - Viet Thanh Nguyen

Abril de 1975, Saigón está sumida en el caos. Desde su mansión, el general del ejército de Vietnam del Sur bebe whiskynorteamericano mientras los disparos suenan cada vez más cerca y, con la ayuda de un capitán de su máxima confianza, prepara una lista con los nombres de aquellos que recibirán un billete para los últimos aviones que salen del país.

El general y sus compatriotas en breve comenzarán una nueva vida en Los Ángeles sin sospechar que uno de ellos, el capitán, observará en secreto e informará sobre las actividades del grupo a un superior del Viet Cong.

En esta extraordinaria novela, Viet Thanh Nguyen nos introduce en la mente de este agente doble, un hombre cuyos nobles ideales le exigirán que traicione a su gente más cercana. Una novela de espías que atrapa al lector, una audaz exploración del extremismo político y una conmovedora historia de amor. El simpatizante recorre una vida entre dos mundos y analiza el legado de la guerra de Vietnam en la literatura y el cine, así como las guerras que emprendemos en el presente.

Since I recently finished his short story collection 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘨𝘦𝘦𝘴, I thought it a good time to grab his biggest title to date about post-Vietnam War subterfuge and conscience.

#Palestine / BDS: a writer's dilemma amidst Gaza genocide

Viet Thanh Nguyen, a Vietnamese-American writer, recently clarified his stance on the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Despite the publication of his short story collection "The Refugees" in Hebrew by an Israeli publisher, Nguyen reaffirmed his support for BDS, a movement he initially endorsed in 2016 [usacbi.org/2016/06/viet-thanh-] . He signed a call to boycott Israeli cultural institutions complicit in violating Palestinian rights [palfest.org/press-release-refu] , a decision that followed the October 2023 Israeli assault on Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of over 45,000 Palestinians and injuries to more than 106,000 others.

Book 27: “The Sympathizer” by #VietThanhNguyen.

Came to this one late: I remember when everybody seemed to be reading or talking about it. Really enjoyed Nguyen’s immigrant short stories in “The Refugees”. This is much more politically sophisticated as the title says, but not what I expected. Nor did it go where I thought it would—more espionage than I normally like. While the sequel is also on my list, the TV show isn’t anymore. Too dude-focused.

Viet Thanh Nguyen on Being Canceled Over Palestine: What if those were your people in Gaza?

In this episode of #FridayNightSemites, we sit down with Pulitzer Prize-winning author and professor Viet Thanh Nguyen, acclaimed for his book The Sympathizer (now a brilliant show on HBO Max). We discuss his experience of being canceled for speaking out for a ceasefire after October 7 and his thoughts on boycotting other artists—even those he strongly disagrees with. Viet opens up about the backlash he’s faced for standing in solidarity with Palestine, and we explore the myths, propaganda, and language shaping public perception of the Middle East.

He dives into his political differences within the Vietnamese-American community, how the U.S. treats immigrants versus refugees, and offers advice to young writers on creating political art during times of war and crisis. We also cover the broader themes of decolonization, anti-Semitism, and the colonial origins of how we talk about the Middle East. This is a no-holds-barred conversation on solidarity, history, and speaking truth to power when the stakes are high.

Whether you’re interested in the politics of Palestine, anti-colonialism, or how to navigate controversial conversations in the literary and academic world, this episode is for you. Join us as we unpack these critical issues with honesty and a bit of humor—because if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry.
