"Stunning... [Hamid] has created a hip page-turner about [his] mysterious country." -Los Angeles Times
"A subtly audacious work and prodigious descendant of hard-boiled lit and film noir... Moth Smoke is a steamy and often darkly amusing book about sex, drugs, and class warfare in postcolonial Asia." -The Village Voice
"Fast-paced, intelligent." -The New Yorker
"Sharply observed... elegant and evocative... a substantial achievement." -Financial Times
Fast-paced 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 the premier Pakistani author of our time, a promise he has amply fulfilled with each successive book. This debut novel, meanwhile, remains as compelling and deeply relevant to the moment as when it appeared more than a decade ago.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The debut novel from the internationally bestselling author of Exit West and The Reluctant Fundamentalist, both shortlisted for the Man Booker PrizeMoth 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.Fast-paced 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 the premier Pakistani author of our time, a promise he has amply fulfilled with each successive book. This debut novel, meanwhile, remains as compelling and deeply relevant to the moment as when it appeared more than a decade ago. When Daru Shezad gets himself fired from his banking job, he instantly removes himself from the ranks of Pakistan's cellphone-toting elite and sets in motion the tragicomedy that will drag him into a life of drugs and crime. His uncertain fate mirrors that of Pakistan itself, animated by nuclear weapons and sapped by corruption.
