VIET THANH NGUYEN on THE COMMITTED
This Beyond the Book interview with Viet Thanh Nguyen was recorded in April 2021 at an online Books & Bathrobes event to benefit Stop AAPI Hate. The in-depth book club style conversation about The Committed was a wonderful continuation of the discussion Julie Robinson had with Viet about his Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Sympathizer. Readers will appreciate the insight into the continued confessional writing of his unnamed narrator, the long term cost of colonialism on individuals and cultures, and contextualizing philosophical texts through lived experience.
