Hardback. Zustand: Good. Mr. Hamid reaffirms his place as one of his generation's most inventive and gifted writers. -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times A globalized version of The Great Gatsby . . . Hamid's] book is nearly that good. -Alan Cheuse, NPR Marvelous and moving. -TIME Magazine From the internationally bestselling author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Exit West, the boldly imagined tale of a poor boy's quest for wealth and love His first two novels established Mohsin Hamid as a radically inventive storyteller with his finger on the world's pulse. How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia meets that reputation--and exceeds it. The astonishing and riveting tale of a man's journey from impoverished rural boy to corporate tycoon, it steals its shape from the business self-help books devoured by ambitious youths all over rising Asia.

And it creates two unforgettable characters who find moments of transcendent intimacy in the midst of shattering change.…
