{"product_id":"the-sympathizer","title":"The Sympathizer","description":"WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2016 It is April 1975, and Saigon is in chaos. At his villa, a general of the South Vietnamese army is drinking whiskey and, with the help of his trusted captain, drawing up a list of those who will be given passage aboard the last flights out of the country. The general and his compatriots start a new life in Los Angeles, unaware that one among their number, the captain, is secretly observing and reporting on the group to a higher-up in the Viet Cong. The Sympathizer is the story of this captain: a man brought up by an absent French father and a poor Vietnamese mother, a man who went to university in America, but returned to Vietnam to fight for the Communist cause. A gripping spy novel, an astute exploration of extreme politics, and a moving love story, The Sympathizer explores a life between two worlds and examines the legacy of the Vietnam War in literature, film, and the wars we fight today.","brand":"Corsair","offers":[{"title":"Good \/ 100afba3ac4","offer_id":48068045340823,"sku":"9781472151360-GD-100afba3ac4","price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/9002\/8951\/files\/3651123482712.jpg?v=1785058695","url":"https:\/\/thriftreads.co.nz\/products\/the-sympathizer","provider":"Thrift Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
