Will Arnett talks about a book titled 'The Sympathizer' by Viet Thanh Nguyen, which explores the Vietnam War from a Vietnamese American perspective. The conversation also touches on the author's heritage.
The Sympathizer was one that pulled surprise reading in the sun. To me, it's like being trapped in a hot car with the windows rolled up, stuck, broken.
