Hardback good first edition.
The Committed (2021) by Viet Thanh Nguyen is the sequel to his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Sympathizer. It follows the unnamed protagonist, a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy, as he flees to Paris after the fall of Saigon.
In Paris, he struggles to rebuild his life, grappling with the trauma of war and betrayal while immersing himself in the criminal underworld. He becomes entangled in drug dealing, philosophy, and political intrigue, confronting themes of colonialism, identity, and the corruption of ideologies. As he navigates his dual loyalties and fractured sense of self, he is forced to question the very beliefs that once defined him.
Darkly comic and intellectually rich, The Committed is a gripping meditation on the consequences of violence, exile, and the search for belonging.
