Divided into sections called 'Life', 'Art' and 'Politics', Discontent and Its Civilizations collects the very best of Mohsin Hamid's writing, on subjects as diverse, but always interrelated, as Pakistan; fatherhood; the death of Osama bin Laden; the meaning of 'home'; the migrant life; religion and nationality; and the fault lines of our dangerously fragile geopolitical world.
Unified by the author's distinctively humane, clear-headed, wise and witty voice, the book makes a compelling case for recognizing our common humanity while relishing our diversity, both as readers and as citizens; for resisting the artificial mono-identities of religion or nationality or race; and for always judging a country or nation by how it treats its minorities, as 'Each individual human being is, after all, a minority of one."
