sophiemng7@proust.one reviewed The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen
Banger!
4 stars
4.5 really! read for the new sociology book club! It was very very good, gripping, incredibly harrowing at times. The bits on Hollywood and representation really hit, and I hope to think through them some more. I thought it was funny that the sympathizer had to remind us that he had a big penis at least two or three times, including when he was about to get horribly tortured.
