RaveThe Chico News & ReviewThere have been many superb books set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, but none as extraordinary and unique as The Sympathizer ... [a] complex and beautifully written novel, an instant American classic.

Williams’ description of the explosion and its horrific lethality is more than enough to make one glad that the nuclear age is ending.
