Consider The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen. Recommended by 3 sources.
“First-person voice is razor-sharp, talkative, and darkly funny; the narrator juggles confession, political critique, and spy-thriller beats, so reading feels intimate and restless. Most useful is the way scenes of exile and war reframe allegiance and identity through mordant irony and vivid set pieces. Limitation: the prose sometimes piles historical exposition and ideological debate onto long, winding paragraphs, which can slow momentum for readers who prefer lean plotting. Also, the narrator's moral ambivalence and repeated rhetorical asides can feel wearing.”
