Histoire
Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

When Marilyn Connolly and David Sorenson fall in love in the 1970s, they are blithely ignorant of all that's to come. By 2016, their four daughters are each in a state of unrest: Wendy soothes herself with booze and younger men; Violet, a litigator-turned-stay-at-home-mom, battles anxiety and doubt; Liza, a neurotic and newly tenured professor, finds herself pregnant with a baby she's not sure she wants; and Grace, the dawdling youngest daughter, begins living a lie. Above it all, the daughters share the lingering fear that they will never find a love quite like their parents'.

A disarmingly honest, boldly political and truly inclusive tale that will speak to anyone who has gone looking for love and acceptance and found something very different in its place.

Histoire
People aren't sure what to make of Susan Green - family and colleagues find her prickly and hard to understand, but Susan makes perfect sense to herself, and that's all she needs. At 45, she thinks her life is perfect, as long as she avoids her feckless brother, Edward - a safe distance away in Birmingham. Yet suddenly faced with the loss of her mother and, implausibly, with the possibility of becoming a mother herself, Susan's greatest fear is being realised: she is losing control.
Description
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.
Commentaires

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.
