Shorties (Viet Thanh Nguyen Profiled, Annie Clark on the Forthcoming St. Vincent Album, and more)
Viet Thanh Nguyen discussed his novel The Committed with Weekend Edition.
"The Sympathizer and The Committed are novels about history, about politics, about war, about revolutions," Nguyen says. "So they're very serious novels, but at the same time, I wanted to make them entertaining — and also as funny as I could possibly make them — given the context of all the brutality that we're witnessing."
The New Cue interviewed St. Vincent's Annie Clark about her forthcoming album.
