Exit West – Mohsin Hamid We’ve all been waiting to see what magic Hamid would weave next and he hasn’t disappointed us. Writing for the New York Times Michiko Kakutani explores what it is that makes Exit West an important and beautiful book: “Mohsin Hamid’s dynamic yet lapidary books have all explored the convulsive changes overtaking the world, as tradition and modernity clash headlong, and as refugees — fleeing war or poverty or hopelessness — try to make their way to safer ground. His compelling new novel, ‘Exit West,’ is no exception, recounting the story of the migrants Saeed and Nadia, who leave an unnamed country in the midst of a civil war and journey to Greece, England and eventually the United States in an effort to invent new lives for themselves. […] Hamid, however, is less interested in the physical hardships faced by refugees in their crossings than in the psychology of exile and the haunting costs of loss and dislocation. […] In ‘Exit West,’ Hamid does a harrowing job of conveying what it is like to leave behind family members, and what it means to leave home, which, however dangerous or oppressive it’s become, still represents everything that is familiar and known.” Read the full review here: http://nyti.ms/2lZwDjG
