Description
The debut novel from the internationally bestselling author ofExit West and The Reluctant Fundamentalist both shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize
Moth Smoke Mohsin Hamids deftly conceived first novel immediately marked him as an uncommonly gifted and ambitious young literary talent to watch when it was published in 2000 It tells the story of Daru Shezad who fired from his banking job in Lahore begins a decline that plummets the length of Hamids sharply drawn subversive tale
Fastpaced and unexpected Moth Smoke was ahead of its time in portraying a contemporary Pakistan far more vivid and complex than the exoticized images of South Asia then familiar to the West It established Mohsin Hamid as an internationally important writer of substance and imagination and thepremier Pakistani author of our time a promise he has amply fulfilled with each successive book This debut novel meanwhileremains as compelling and deeply relevant to the moment as when it appeared more than a decade ago
