Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2016.
It is April 1975, and Saigon is in chaos. At his villa, a general of the South Vietnamese army is drinking whiskey and, with the help of his trusted captain, drawing up a list of those who will be given passage aboard the last flights out of the country. The general and his compatriots start a new life in Los Angeles, unaware that one among their number, the captain, is secretly observing and reporting on the group to a higher-up in the Viet Cong.
The Sympathizer is the story of this captain: a man brought up by an absent French father and a poor Vietnamese mother, a man who went to university in America but returned to Vietnam to fight for the Communist cause.
A gripping spy story, an astute exploration of extreme politics, and a moving love story, The Sympathizer explores a life between two worlds and examines the legacy of the Vietnam War in literature, film, and the wars we fight today.
Kritikerstimmen
"[A] dark and exciting debut novel.... Black humour seeps through these pages." ( Wall Street Journal)

Geschichte
The many voices of The Promise tell a story in four snapshots, each one centered on a family funeral, each one happening in a different decade. In the background, a different president is in power, and a different spirit hangs over the country, while in the foreground the family fights over what they call their farm, on a worthless piece of land outside Pretoria. Over large jumps in time, people get older, faces and laws and lives all change, while a brother and sister circle around a promise made long ago and never kept....

Geschichte
The long-awaited new novel from Margaret Atwood. The Year of the Flood is a dystopic masterpiece and a testament to her visionary power. The times and species have been changing at a rapid rate, and the social compact is wearing as thin as environmental stability. Adam One, the kindly leader of the God's Gardeners - a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all plant and animal life - has long predicted a natural disaster that will alter Earth as we know it. Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life.

Geschichte
Traumatized by his reeducation at the hands of his former best friend, and struggling to assimilate into French culture, the Sympathizer finds Paris both seductive and disturbing. As he falls in with a group of left-wing intellectuals 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, whether the self-torture of addiction, the authoritarianism of a state locked in a colonial mindset, or the paradox of how to reunite his two closest friends.

Geschichte
This transcendent story follows four college friends who move to New York City, buoyed by ambition: Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, an artist; Malcolm, an architect; and, at the center, Jude, a withdrawn, brilliant attorney haunted by an unspeakable past. Through decades of shared and separate lives, Jude’s suffering - and its impact on those who love him - raises questions about the limits of human endurance, the possibility for redemption, and the meaning of friendship.

Geschichte
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

Absolutely stunning and with the pathos so tangible it verges on being a real epic.

Vietnam, its wars and warriors: drama & philosophy
A deep essay about an ordinary man in war times. The narrator shares with us, his listeners, his painful story of meandering between cultures (the Vietnamese and the American), periods (the war and the afterwar), countries (America and Vietnam), and ideologies (serving, and being betrayed by, both American nationalism and Vietnamese revolutionary thinking).
It's a dramatic story of war and piece, of love and sex and suffering, of murder and , and above all things, of friendship. The story is told in a nonlinear mode which provides sufficient room for philosophical considerations and time jumps, rather than being a straightforward drama. It offers a unique and rich look at the American engagement in Asia, which is, at least for me, a much welcomed complement to the countless, America-focused movies about the Vietnam war (the part about the narrator clashing with, and reflecting about Hollywood, is my personal highlight). Be prepared for deep emotions and equally deep reflections.
But be warned: Mr. Chau, who reads the book, is not the usual "reader". His hoarse and harsh voice is of a very limited bandwidth, and the reading approach exhibits limited empathy., Both makes it quite hard to listen for a longer time, and I considered giving up more than once. But in the end I got used to it -- and even began to enjoy the vocal monotony as being an adequate complement of the story's exploration of poverty and sparseness itself.
