So difficult to find sympathetic fiction online. Currently looking at a book called The Sympathizer by a Vietnamese author about a pro-Vietnamese double agent living in Amerika, seems interesting. Every other search result is anti-communist piss splattered over pages and sold as “gripping, realistic, startlingly accurate”.

Even if it’s bad writing or whatever, I’m curious if any of y’all know some explicitly or implicitly communist fiction worth checking out.

      Seconded! This is a really interesting piece of sci-fi and it’s a really good allegory of USSR and US relations during the time it was written. It’s a pretty balanced take IMO considering that it was written in the 1970s.
