This Is How HBO's The Sympathizer Is Different From the Book

Quick Links As a whole, HBO’sThe Sympathizeris a faithful adaptation of Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize for Fiction-winning novel. A complex tale of deception, hollow allegiances, and political intrigue, it’s one of the better historical fiction novels of the 2010s.

It is difficult to defineAtlanticsas a science fiction fable, a romance, a noir thriller, or a drama, not because the film transits safely through these genres, but because they all come loose in a contemplative and melancholy plot that is sustained precisely by its strangeness....
