The Book Show #1713 - Viet Thanh Nguyen

Book cover for "The Committed"
Grove Press

Viet Thanh Nguyen's new novel, “The Committed,” is the long-awaited follow-up to the Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Sympathizer.”

It tells the story of a communist double agent and his blood brother, Bon, as they try to overcome their pasts and ensure their futures by engaging in capitalism in one of its purest forms: drug dealing.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
