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

Mohsin Hamid is the author of five novels-Moth Smoke, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, Exit West and The Last White Man-and a book of essays, Discontent and Its Civilizations. His writing has been translated into forty languages, featured on bestseller lists, and adapted for the cinema. Born in Lahore, he has spent about half his life there and much of the rest in London, New York, and California.
