I have so many books to read or that I’m in the middle of reading and texts for my research next year – but the one book I took with me to Berlin and have been reading for the sheer pleasure of it is The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen. Nguyen’s writing is a truly enjoyable to read and he’s got an excellent, biting sense of humor. I won’t do justice to the summary, so just click on that link to read more about it on Goodreads. I don’t find many books that I really want to stick to or have a hard time putting down these days – this is one of the rare few.
