Viet Thanh Nguyen

Pulitzer Prize-winner Viet Thanh Nguyen discusses his unconventional new memoir, A Man of Two Faces, which follows his childhood in Vietnam to his life in America as a refugee.

Author Viet Than Nguyen joins us to discuss his new novel, "The Committed."

"Apocalypse Now" continues to shape the way younger generations in the U.S. think about and relate to the Vietnam War. But the film is only concerned with the American side of the story.

Immigrants in United States assert their "Americanness," or why it is that they belong and how they have proven it, in ways that most citizens don't have to.

Viet Thanh Nguyen, winner of this year's Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, says that we have a long way to go before we can move beyond the history of the Vietnam War. 

Viet Thanh Nguyen talks about his debut novel, The Sympathizer, which examines the legacy of the Vietnam War in literature, film, and the wars we fight today.
