Bill’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Committed (The Sympathizer #2)

The Committed (The Sympathizer #2) by Viet Thanh Nguyen

2 highlights

Your father was a colonizer and a pedophile, which go hand in hand. Colonization is pedophilia. The paternal country rapes and molests its unfortunate pupils, all in the holy and hypocritical name of the civilizing mission!

Bill’s Quotes

“You want to ask the universe what everyone else wants to ask the universe. Why are we born, why do we die, why anything has to be. And all the universe has to say in reply is: I don't know, arsehole, stop asking. The Afterlife is as confusing as the Before Death, the In Between is as arbitrary as the Down There. So we make up stories because we're afraid of the dark.”
― Shehan Karaunatilaka
