The 2016 Notable Books List
I am all about The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen, which also won the Carnegie Award for fiction. I read it very early on in the process and, as I mentioned in the year in review post, it remained one of my favorite reads of 2015. In a way it reminds me of M Butterfly, no doubt in part because of the spy aspects but also because of the issues of identity that it raises and the intensity of the ending.
