dark reflective fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

Just when I think I'm finished with cynical authors - no one does it like Mohsin Hamid. To be candid, I'm a sucker for the second person on account of my overusing it in high school poetry. I know it's kitsch. Mostly I'm impressed by how he embodied ennui whilst successfully operating within the bounds of corrupt political and social systems, yet never named a single character.
