Book: A Man of Two Faces: A Man, A Memoir, A Memorial | Author: Viet Thanh Nguyen | April 27, 2026
The highly original, blistering, and unconventional memoir by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer. Profound in its emotions and brilliant in its thinking about cultural power, A Man of Two Faces explores the necessity of both forgetting and of memory, the promises America so readily makes and breaks, and the exceptional life story of one of the most original and important writers working today.
