Discontent and Its Civilizations

Synopsis

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'.
