From Publishers Weekly

Hamid grabs hold of the American Dream as seen through the eyes of a young Princeton grad from Pakistan in a post-9/11 world. As the protagonist, Changez, finds moderate business success and romantic love in New York City, his heritage and identity will be lost in a sea of subtle and blatant bigotry as well as international politics. In relating this journey from loving to loathing of all things American, Changez speaks to a nameless and speechless American whom he encounters in the marketplace of his home city, Lahore, Pakistan. Bhabha's English-influenced Pakistani accent proves soothing and inviting for listeners. His gentle demeanor captures the courteous and polite manner of Changez. His American accent comes in the form of a Midwestern accent with a confident—almost arrogant—lilt. He lapses when it comes to vocalizing women. Though lighter, his voice exudes a stoic resonance instead of a feminine one. But the casual tone of Changez telling his life story translates perfectly with the help of Bhabha's velvet voice.

From Booklist

*Starred Review* Presented in the form of a monologue, which is a difficult technique to manage in a novel because the author has to ensure plausibility while guarding against monotony, Hamid's second novel succeeds so well it begs the question--what other narrative format than a sustained monologue could have been as appropriate? Generally, this is a 9/11 novel or, rather, a post-9/11 one. But to see it on its own terms, which, because of its distinctive scenario, is impossible not to do, it eludes categorization. A young Pakistani man, educated at Princeton and employed in a highly prestigious financial-analysis firm in New York, was about to start a brilliant career and had fallen for a young woman whose commitment to him, it must be admitted, was partial and elusive when the terrorist attacks occurred. Answering to his own conscience, he could not remain in the U.S. By the pull of his true personal identity, he must return to Pakistan, despite his reluctance to leave the enigmatic but beguiling young woman behind. From the perspective of a few years later, the young man relates his American experiences to an American man he meets in a cafe, whose visit to Lahore may or may not have to do with the young man's recent anti-American activities. This novel's firm, steady, even beautiful voice proclaims the completeness of the soul when personal and global issues are conjoined. Brad Hooper

5.0étoiles sur 5 Fascinating and brilliant book, Mai 31 2008
Par Jon Freeman "jon2910" (Hampshire, UK) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This book is a brilliant presentation of a personal moral position reflecting a complex political situation from the perspective of one single human being, who narrates throughout - a difficult technical achievement which the author brings off very well.
The previous review exposes some strands of this narrative but draws conclusions from it that not all may share, and for me underplays the uncertainty of outcome at the story's conclusion. I would also add that in a subtle way the book presents a richness of cultural perspective that is powerfully influential and extends the book beyond either the personal or the political realms.
The ambiguity that is woven into this book is one of its major strengths. There are no certainties - personal, political or moral - and this is a book for those who wish to make up their own minds in a world which is frequently presented to us with clear rights and wrongs. If you think that you know the answer to fundamentalism, you don't understand the problem

5.0étoiles sur 5 A tale of place versus opportunity, Déc 16 2007
Par L. Ramsey - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Reluctant Fundamentalist (Hardcover)
You gotta read this book. It's a dinner table conversation that takes place between two men at a restaurant in Lahore, Pakistan. One will kill the other before the evening ends. Changez ,tells his tale to our unidentified, American guest. It's a tale of place versus opportunity. Up until September 11, 2001, life is a world of opportunities for Changez. He has received a scholarship from Princeton University, been hired by a prestigious accounting firm, and fallen in love with a beautiful girl. Life couldn't be better, especially for a young born to modest means in a developing country. The problem is that he can't separate himself from his connection with that country. His appearance is constantly reflected to him in the eyes of the world following the attacks of September 11. It's symbolized in his love for the beautiful girl who only feels a mutual attraction when he pretends to be her dead boyfriend. It's manifested in the treatment he receives everytime he boards and plane. And it's made real by the confrontation with the publisher of a small publishing company who accuses him of being a Janissary, the perfect soldier being one who's lost his roots. You gotta read the book.
