Viet Thanh Nguyen in Conversation about To Save and to Destroy
The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Sympathizer, Viet Thanh Nguyen, discusses his deeply personal and provocative essay collection, To Save and Destroy: Writing as an Other. In an exploration of what it means to write from the margins, Nguyen reflects on his lived experience as a child refugee from Vietnam as well as the literary, historical, and political dimensions of otherness. A bold meditation on the power — and burden — of giving voice to the voiceless, Nguyen interrogates the role of the writer in times of violence, the responsibilities of fiction, and the possibility of solidarity across borders and communities.
