As an American whose family has been here for generations, I love to hear the stories of those who have immigrated here. Will follow up on Nguyen’s writing!

Wow...fantastic interview. I have read the Sympathizer and seen the series. I can relate to Mr. Nguyen not knowing what love was as a youngster. Thank you for this beautiful piece.
