Viet Thanh Nguyen says it wasn’t as easy as writing The Sympathizer, his 2016 Pulitzer-winning novel: “I would write in 50-page chunks – I wrote 50 pages before the Pulitzer. Then my life got really messy for a couple of years while I wrote the middle of the book. Towards the end, I finally figured out how to balance everything that was making demands on me and felt like I was back in the groove again.” – The Guardian (UK)
