Start Making Sense is hosted by Jon Wiener and co-produced by the Los Angeles Review of Books.

Plus: Hillary and Haiti—a long relationship, and a revealing one. Amy Wilentz comments. Read Chelsea Clinton’s once-secret memo about the Clinton Foundation’s failings in Haiti here.

And we speak with Viet Nguyen—his novel The Sympathizer just won the Pulitzer Prize.  It begins in Saigon on the last day of the Vietnam war, and features a Viet Cong spy inside the Saigon army.
