Hamid, Mohsin. The Reluctant Fundamentalist. 0-15-101304-7 (2007).
Described as “a tale of enormous tension”, Hamid does a very good job of evoking compassion for his main character while assailing the overreaching of America abroad. Set amidst the backdrop of business malaise in 2001 and the impact on New York of the September 11th attacks, Hamid’s protagonist is at once serious about making a name for himself and lost in the romantic world of both his home and his relationship with his only love. Very good descriptions of the “man abroad” and a fine narrative twist. Well done and a quick read.
