Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. First Edition/First Printing. This copy of "Discontent and Its Civilizations" has been SIGNED by Mohsin Hamid on the title page! A writer who has earned a reputation as a "master critic of the modern global condition." In this collection of essays Hamid traces the fracture lines generated by a decade and a half of seismic change, from the "war on terror" to the struggles of individuals to maintain humanity in the rigid face of ideology or the indifferent face of globalization. While at Princeton University, Hamid took two Creative Writing courses - one with Joyce Carol Oates and the other with Toni Morrison. Hamid was born in Lahore, Pakistan, went with his family when he was three to live in California, then back to Pakistan, then to Princeton University, then Harvard Law, then as a management consultant in New York and London, and now back to Lahore, Pakistan where he currently resides. His most recent work, "Exit West" has been shortlisted for the 2017 MAN Booker Award. Signed by Author(s).

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condición: Neu. Neu Neuware, Importqualität, auf Lager - From 'one of his generation's most inventive and gifted writers' ( The New York Times ) , intimate and sharply observed commentary on life, art, politics, and 'the war on terror.' Mohsin Hamid's brilliant, moving, and extraordinarily clever novels have not only made him an international bestseller, they have earned him a reputation as a 'master critic of the modern global condition' ( Foreign Policy ). His stories are at once timeless and of-the-moment, and his themes are universal: love, language, ambition, power, corruption, religion, family, identity. Here he explores this terrain from a different angle in essays that deftly counterpoise the personal and the political, and are shot through with the same passion, imagination, and breathtaking shifts of perspective that gives his fiction its unmistakable electric charge. A 'water lily' who has called three countries on three continents his home-Pakistan, the birthplace to which he returned as a young father; the United States, where he spent his childhood and young adulthood; and Britain, where he married and became a citizen-Hamid writes about overlapping worlds with fluidity and penetrating insight. Whether he is discussing courtship rituals or pop culture, drones or the rhythms of daily life in an extended family compound, he transports us beyond the scarifying headlines of an anxious West and a volatile East, beyond stereotype and assumption, and helps to bring a dazzling diverse global culture within emotional and intellectual reach.
