The Committed
Viet Thanh NguyenThe pair try to overcome their pasts & ensure their futures by engaging in capitalism in one of its purest forms: drug dealing. Traumatized by his reeducation at the hands of his former best friend, Man, & struggling to assimilate into French culture, the Sympathizer finds Paris both seductive & disturbing. As he falls in with a group of left-wing intellectuals whom he meets at dinner parties given by his French Vietnamese “aunt,” he finds stimulation for his mind but also customers for his narcotic merchandise. But the new life he is making has perils he has not foreseen, whether the self-torture of addiction, the authoritarianism of a state locked in a colonial mindset, or the seeming paradox of how to reunite his two closest friends whose worldviews put them in absolute opposition.
The Sympathizer will need all his wits, resourcefulness, & moral flexibility if he is to prevail. Both highly suspenseful & existential, The Committed is a blistering portrayal of commitment & betrayal that will cement Viet Thanh Nguyen’s position in the firmament of American letters.
