内容简介 A novel which tells the story of a well-educated and ambitious Muslim man torn between staying true to his roots, and all that the American way of life has to offer him.

His first novel, Moth Smoke, was published in ten languages, won a Betty Trask award, was a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway award, and was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Mohsin Hamid currently lives, works and writes in London.
编辑推荐 Marta Simonetti-Whitford, Guardian Books of the Year
"If a book had to be praised for its merits in defining the anxieties of our post-9/11 society, then Mohsin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist would be the one to win" --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Philip Pullman
"I read Mohsin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist with increasing admiration. It is beautifully written - what a joy it is to find such intelligent prose, such clarity of thought and exposition - and superbly constructed. The author has managed to tighten the screw of suspense almost without our being aware it is happening, and the result is a tale of enormous tension. I read a lot of thrillers - or rather I start reading a lot of thrillers, and put most of them down - but this is more exciting than any thriller I've read for a long time, as well as being a subtle and elegant analysis of the state of our world today. I was enormously impressed" --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Jo Glanville, Observer Books of the Year
"An elegant, artful, haunting novella - a deceptively simple narrative that is in fact deeply ambiguous" --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Amit Chaudhuri, London Review of Books
"From the start, I was gripped...There's an almost delightful allegorical symmetry to the flow of events, as well as a sensuousness and finish that might belong to some other form of art: music, perhaps...Hamid manages marvellously well in creating a novel that's rendered entirely in terms of the spoken word, and governed by the shape of what's evaded or not uttered" --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

The Times
"A fantastic piece of work, superbly considered and controlled, with a lovely stillness and wisdom at its heart"
--This text refers to the Paperback edition.
