How to Get Filthy Rich in

Rising Asia

AUTHOR : Mohsin Hamid

PUBLISHER : Riverhead

PRICE : $18

GENRE : Fiction

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.” It 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. Yet his heart remains set on something else, on the pretty girl whose star rises along with his, their paths crossing and recrossing, a lifelong affair sparked and snuffed and sparked again.
