2014-02-18 23:35:13| Powells Books Events Calendar
The astonishing and riveting tale of a man's journey from impoverished rural boy to corporate tycoon, Mohsin Hamid's How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia (Riverhead) follows its nameless hero to the sprawling metropolis where he begins to amass an empire built on that most fluid, and increasingly scarce, of goods: water. Hamid's new novel is a striking slice of contemporary life at a time of crushing upheaval. Romantic without being sentimental, political without being didactic, it brings an unflinching gaze to the violence and hope it depicts.
