The reluctant fundamentalist Mohsin Hamid (Auteur)

This powerful and original novel explores timely themes through a moving love story with a heart-stopping ending. It follows a young Pakistani man settled in New York who finds himself caught between his roots and his new life - a potent exploration of the personal and international consequences of the friction between East & West. Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2007. 'Beautifully written and superbly constructed...a tale of enormous tension (and) a subtle and elegant analysis of our world today' Philip Pullman. MOHSIN HAMID writes regularly for The New York Times, the Guardian and the New York Review of Books, and is the author of Exit West, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Moth Smoke, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia and Discontent and its Civilizations.
