Viet came to the United States in 1975 as a war refugee. He is the author of bestsellers The Sympathizer, The Refugees, and Nothing Ever Dies: Vietnam and the Memory of War, and he serves as critic-at-large for the Los Angeles Times. The New York Times Book Review compares his work “favorably with masters like Conrad, Greene, and le Carré.” Viet will serve as the Dan and Maggie Inouye Chair.
