Description
From the twice Booker-shortlisted author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Exit West, a story of love, loss, and rediscovery in a time of unsettling change.
One morning, Anders wakes to find that his skin has turned dark, his reflection a stranger to him. At first, he tells only Oona, an old friend, now newly a lover. Soon, reports of similar occurrences surface across the land.
Some see in the transformations the long-dreaded overturning of an established order, to be resisted to a bitter end. In many, like Anders's father and Oona's mother, a sense of profound loss wars with profound love.
As the bond between Anders and Oona deepens, change takes on a different shading—a chance to see one another, face to face, anew.

Mohsin Hamid's The Last White Man is praised for its visionary exploration of race and identity, with its elegant prose breathing new life into traditional debates. The novel, described as a hypnotic race fable, cleverly uses a Kafka-esque premise to create an urgent and relevant narrative. It's recognised as a powerful modern adaptation of The Metamorphosis, standing out as a significant literary achievement.
