I would rate the book 3.5 stars out of 5. Nguyen is truly a master of language. His elaborate wording renders the book nothing short of a joy to read. However, I am a bit disappointed in how the plot unravels in the final few chapters where Nguyen seems to ...

评分在美国包揽普利策小说奖、卡耐基小说奖及亚太裔小说奖的神作,由越南裔美籍作家写的一个关于越南战争中北越间谍的故事,一看就很吸引人。 这本书讲的是一个深谙两套文化和两种主义的“中间人”的故事。主人公是法国人和越南人的混血儿,在美国接受过教育,但投向了越共的理想,...
评分这不是一本容易读的书,作者连篇累牍用了很多长长的句子,而且思绪奔放,穿插跳跃,从一件事突然转到其他事情上。 假如不是因为先在美国公共电台听过作者的采访,我怀疑自己能够耐心看完(实际上我听完整本书,相比阅读,听着稍微容易些)。 回到本书内容,作者的切入点很有趣...

The Sympathizer is the 2015 debut novel by Vietnamese American professor Viet Thanh Nguyen. It is a best-selling novel, and recipient of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Its reviews have generally recognized its excellence and it was named a New York Times Editor's Choice. The novel fits the expectations of a number of different novel genres: immigrant, mystery, political, metafiction, dark comedic, historical, spy, and war. The story depicts the anonymous narrator, a North Vietnamese mole in the South Vietnamese army, who stays embedded in a South Vietnamese community in exile in the United States. While in the United States, the narrator describes being an expat and a cultural advisor on the filming of an American film, closely resembling Platoon and Apocalypse Now, before returning to Vietnam as part of a guerrilla raid against the communists. The dual identity of the narrator, as a mole and immigrant, and the Americanization of the Vietnam War in international literature are central themes in the novel. The novel was published 40 years to the month after the fall of Saigon, which is the initial scene of the book.
非常ambitious的一本小说,绝不是一本单纯的间谍小说,它还试图去解释移民问题、中西文化、战争和革命,以及越南战争对于越南人民而言到底意味着什么。这本书我陆陆续续读了整整一个月,因为它极高的信息量和情感密度,还有作者的GRE风格的长难句表达方式。不过鉴于我们民族自己的历史和文化背景,倒是很容易就能和书里的人物达到情感上的共鸣。撇去略微漫长的阅读过程,相当棒的一本书。
评分关于集体记忆和集体认同的完美散文。黑色幽默。出色的写作。
