Dear Bookclub,
Looking for that last easy-breezy summer read? This is not it! Viet Thanh Nguyen's "The Sympathizer" thoughtfully written, takes thought to appreciate. Dive in and take the journey- it will be unlike any other book you've read this summer, this year or even beyond. I do recommend a bit of research to help comprehension:
