Steven asked Viet Thanh Nguyen:

I found your book by accident, and I am so glad that I did! It was just prior to our visit to Vietnam, so the timing was also perfect. When are you going to publish another book, and will you continue to mine the Vietnamese/US/French history or go another direction? The self-reflection perspective of the book was such a great perspective to read this from. Thank you.

Viet Thanh Nguyen Hi Steven, I have a new book coming out in February 2017, The Refugees, a short story collection. I am writing the sequel to The Sympathizer, and it is set mostly in Paris, so will deal with Vietnamese/French history.

Rory asked Viet Thanh Nguyen:

Your book reminded me why I liked books, at a time of great drought of the soul. You write with passion about the driest topics, and your stories are impossible not to relate to on a human as well as an intellectual level. As an aspiring and practicing writer; if I could one day harness the capacity to put my raw thoughts to paper as powerfully and elegantly as you do, I'll call my life well-lived. When did you start?

Melissa asked Viet Thanh Nguyen:

Congratulations, professor :) I am Vietnamese-American and honestly have very mixed-up feelings about how much attention we should pay to race and the stories of where we came from. But it is so great to see someone like you winning a Pulitzer. I will definitely be reading your book! ?

Jimmy asked Viet Thanh Nguyen:

Mr. Nguyen, I taught English as a second language to ARVN soldiers. I now wonder about what they went through after the collapse of Saigon. Do you know of any nonfiction books that make an accounting of what re-education camps were like, how many people were executed or imprisoned, and what the citizens of South Vietnam faced when the North took over?
