Viet Nguyen is one of my favorite writers. In the Sympathizer he had set the bar so high, that he did himself injustice. The Committed is not as powerful, but a really good and amusing read. a literary film noir with sometimes exaggerated plot twists, yet as in the Sympathizer, Nguyen goes to court with colonialists regimes. his literature is for third world people who feel vindicated reading his angry and sarcastic prose. Yet I felt he could have taken more time to refine the writing. Still it is so much better than most of what is out there now.

As he falls in with a group of left-

I felt like having read this before: The Sympathizer (which was very good). The Paris sequel does not give me the impression of authentic experience; too much fiction, difficult to believe scenarios. First half was quite interesting to read - as a crime novel - then it becomes increasingly predictable and boring towards the end. The writing style needs patience getting used to - too much "crazy".
