Best recent book:

The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen. Set in the aftermath of the Vietnam war and written from the point of view of the Vietnamese who were forced to flee their country. Manages to be both harrowing and disturbingly funny, while conveying things from a perspective not often seen in the West.
