Description

Discontent and Its Civilizations collects the best of Mohsin Hamid s writing on subjects as diverse and wide-ranging as Pakistan, fatherhood, the death of Osama Bin Laden and the writing of The Reluctant Fundamentalist.

Unified by the author s humane, clear-headed and witty voice, the book makes a compelling case for recognizing our common humanity while relishing our diversity - both as readers and citizens, for resisting the artificial mono-identities of religion or nationality or race, and for always judging a country or nation by how it treats its minorities, as Each individual human being is, after all, a minority of one.

Mohsin Hamid is a master critic of the modern global condition, using humanization, wit, parody and other devices to examine how the fast pace of social and economic change has affected the individual -Foreign Policy

The new voice of a generation. A writer at the top of his game - Metro

One of the most talented writers of his generation - Daily Telegraph
