REVIEW: Does Mohsin Hamid’s “How To Get Filthy Rich In Rising Asia” Deliver?
[caption id="attachment_3738" align="aligncenter" width="221"] How To Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, Riverhead Books, 228 pp., $26.95, on sale now[/caption]
Somewhere, a canny business professor may be plotting to put Mohsin Hamid's astringent new novel into an MBA course. It would be a brilliant move.
Not because the advice it contains is revelatory -- "Get an Education" and "Work for Yourself" are actual chapter headings -- but because Hamid's tight, mesmerizing story raises the thorny questions that cluster around the bloom of wealth. Indeed, readers will detect a whiff on cultural criticism in the eight words of the new book's title.
As it opens, "How To Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia" poses as a self-help book. Following this convention, it addresses the reader as "you." The text... Read More →
VIDEO: Sneak Peek Of The Reluctant Fundamentalist
We must have written about Mohsid Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist at least six times over the past year but only because we have been looking forward to the big-screen adaptation. It will finally be hitting the big screen in a few weeks (February 21) and The Guardian has given us a behind-the-scenes look at some of the film's more powerful moments. Check it out below and let us know what you think:

Have You Seen “The Reluctant Fundamentalist”?
We've talked so much about Mohsin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist coming to the big screen next year and the wait is almost over. The adaptation is scheduled to hit theatres in February 2013 and we can't wait. It received rave reviews when it premiered at the Venice film festival this fall and critics have praised Mira Nair's vision.
In this Hollywood Reporter video, stars of the film (Riz Ahmed, Kate Hudson and Keifer Sutherland) sit down with Nair to talk about filming and why they were drawn to the project. Read More →
What’s On Your Summer Reading List?
We don't know what the weather is like where you live, but this weekend it's going to hot and humid. Just the thought of 90-degree temperatures sends us scrambling inside for the air conditioning and a good book.
Pakistan's Express Tribune listed their top 10 books to re-read this summer and even if you've never read some of these books, we'd say they make for an excellent use of time. Among those listed were two Anisfield-Wolf winners: Kamila Shamsie (2010) and Mohsin Hamid (2008).
Of Shamsie's Kartography:
Kamila Shamsie is one of the few female authors of the 90s who managed to get Pakistan on the literary map. Shamsie’s Kartography is a literary masterpiece and her passion and love for her city Karachi is evident in her every sentence, page and chapter.

Books Vs. Movies: How Will “The Reluctant Fundamentalist” Fare On The Big Screen?
2008 Anisfield-Wolf award winner Mohsin Hamid's groundbreaking work, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, is getting the Hollywood treatment. The story follows a young Pakistani as he grapples with life after 9/11. Starring Riz Ahmed as Changez, the film will also feature Kate Hudson, Liev Schreiber, and Kiefer Sutherland. Mira Nair (The Namesake, Monsoon Wedding) will direct.
There's always a murmur when beloved books and characters make the transition to the big screen. Devoted readers will either skip the film altogether or spend a great amount of time picking it apart in comparison to the book. But as The Reluctant Fundamentalist makes its leap into theaters, it's worth noting that Hamid took it upon himself to create a novel that was especially inviting for readers to create their own...
