Narrated to a stranger in a Lahore cafe, Hamid's groundbreaking thriller focuses on the fragmentation and paranoia of American society post-9/11 through the voice of a Pakistani immigrant.

Challenging, mysterious and thrillingly tense, Mohsin Hamid's masterly The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a vital read teeming with questions and ideas about some of the most pressing issues of today's globalised, fractured world.

Mohsin Hamid 's fiction has been translated into over 30 languages, received numerous awards, and been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. He has contributed essays and short stories to publications such as the GuardianThe New York TimesFinancial TimesGranta, and Paris Review. Born and mostly raised in Lahore, he spent part of his childhood in California, studied at Princeton University and Harvard Law School, and has since lived between Lahore, London, and New York.
