520    Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Sympathizer was one of the most 
       widely and highly praised novels of 2015, the winner not 
       only of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, but also the 
       Center for Fiction Debut Novel Prize, the Edgar Award for 
       Best First Novel, the ALA Carnegie Medal for Fiction, the 
       Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature, and the 
       California Book Award for First Fiction. Nguyen's next 
       fiction book, The Refugees, is a collection of perfectly 
       formed stories written over a period of twenty years, 
       exploring questions of immigration, identity, love, and 
       family. With the coruscating gaze that informed The 
       Sympathizer, in The Refugees Viet Thanh Nguyen gives voice
       to lives led between two worlds, the adopted homeland and 
       the country of birth. From a young Vietnamese refugee who 
       suffers profound culture shock when he comes to live with 
       two gay men in San Francisco, to a woman whose husband is 
       suffering from dementia and starts to confuse her for a 
       former lover, to a girl living in Ho Chi Minh City whose 
       older half-sister comes back from America having seemingly
       accomplished everything she never will, the stories are a 
       captivating testament to the dreams and hardships of 
       immigration. The second piece of fiction by a major new 
       voice in American letters, The Refugees is a beautifully 
       written and sharply observed book about the aspirations of
       those who leave one country for another, and the 
       relationships and desires for self-fulfillment that define
       our lives.
