The Reluctant Fundamentalist

At a café table in Lahore, a bearded Pakistani man converses with an uneasy American stranger. As dusk deepens into night, he begins the tale that has brought him to this fateful encounter. Changez has lived an immigrant's dream, studying at Princeton and snapped up by a powerful firm in New York, with the beautiful Erica on his arm and the promise of entry into Manhattan's elite society. All of this changes after the September 11th attack, and allegiances are unearthed that may be more fundamental than money, power, or even love. The author of the PEN/Hemingway Award nominated New York Times Notable Book Moth Smoke here explores the unexpected connections between the political and the personal.
