Book: The Sympathizer

One of those books I forced myself to finish and probably cost me reading two other, better books instead. The humor and voice of the author were fine for awhile, the story I did not find particularly meaningful. Like a decent party that goes on for too long. Why shouldn't a novel be 100 pages long? Who established they must be 200 or more and then any important, award-worthy novel must be 300+? When did this come into being?
