With one remarkable book after another, Mohsin Hamid has proven himself to be one of the 21st century's most essential writers. This is, perhaps, his most remarkable work yet. The Last White Man is myth and poetry operating as a deeper form of social commentary, and an extraordinary vision of human possibility
Ayad Akhtar
A brilliantly realized allegory of racial transformation... Hamid's story is poignant and pointed, speaking to a more equitable future in which widespread change, though confusing and dislocating in the moment, can serve to erase the divisions of old as they fade away with the passing years. A provocative tale that raises questions of racial and social justice at every turn
Kirkus
A slim, surreal fable as profound and piercingly humanist as his Booker Prize shortlisted The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Exit West
Entertainment Weekly
Gorgeously crafted . . . The Last White Man concludes on a note of hope, a door jarred open just enough to let transcendence pour through
O, the Oprah Magazine
The electric premise, borrowed from Kafka's The Metamorphosis, looks set to update a classic to make it urgently relevant
Evening Standard
With this big-hearted novel of ideas, Mohsin Hamid confronts challenging truths with insight, wisdom, and - above all else - limitless compassion
Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage
[The Last White Man] is conceptually crisp, compelling, and a joy to read on the sentence level - at one meticulously constructed and mellifluous
