2016 Pulitzer for fiction: "The Sympathizer" by Viet Thanh Nguyen.

I just got a copy from the local library. Anybody else read it? If so, no spoilers, OK?

1. Just about half way through.

Incredible book. Surprised there's so little about it at DU.

2. I thought it was exceptional.

I'm surprised it wasn't on this past weekend's NYT Fiction Best Seller list. There's bound to be a movie, or a multi-part TV series.

3. It amazes me. It should be a massive seller.

6. I think now that it won the Pulitzer *and* the paperback has come out

it may become more popular. It was one of my favorite books of last year but I can't seem to talk anyone into reading it.

I should come in this forum more often - looks like I can find common ground with people I often disagree with

4. Sounds great!

I look forward to reading it someday. Thanks for telling us about it.

5. My pleasure, as always. (nt)
