Description: A NEW Yorker Essential READ A NEW YORK Times Bestseller Named A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW Yorker Vogue AND NPR Perhaps Hamid's most remarkable work yet an extraordinary vision of human possibility. Ayad Akhtar author of Homeland Elegies Searing exhilarating reimagines Kafka's iconic The Metamorphosis for our racially charged era. Hamilton Cain Oprah Daily From the New York Times - bestselling author of Exit West a story of love loss and rediscovery in a time of unsettling change. One morning a man wakes up to find himself transformed. Overnight Anders's skin has turned dark and the reflection in the mirror seems a stranger to him. At first he shares his secret only with Oona an old friend turned new lover. Soon reports of similar events begin to surface. Across the land people are awakening in new incarnations uncertain how their neighbors friends and family will greet them. Some see the transformations as the long - dreaded overturning of the established order that must be resisted to a bitter end. In many like Anders's father and Oona's mother a sense of profound loss and unease wars with profound love. As the bond between Anders and Oona deepens change takes on a different shading: a chance at a kind of rebirth - - an opportunity to see ourselves face to face anew. In Mohsin Hamid's lyrical and urgent prose (O Magazine) The Last White Man powerfully uplifts our capacity for empathy and the transcendence over bigotry fear and anger it can achieve.
