Mohsin Hamid's How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia is a bold new novel for the modern world.In this keenly-awaited follow-up to his bestselling The Reluctant Fundamentalist， Mohsin Hamid confirms his place as a radically inventive story-teller with his finger on the world's pulse.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 youths all over 'rising Asia'. It follows its nameless hero to the sprawling metropolis where he begins to amass an empire built on the most fluid and increasingly scarce of goods： water. Yet his heart remains set on something else， on the pretty girl whose star rises alongside his， their paths crossing and re-crossing in a love affair sparked and snuffed out again by the forces that careen their fates along.The hero of the story could be any one of us， hungry for a different life. And ours too could be the fate that awaits him . . .Fast-paced， vivid and emotionally absorbing， How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia creates two unforgettable characters who find moments of transcendent intimacy in the midst of shattering change.Praise for How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia： 'Even more intriguing， compelling and moving than The Reluctant Fundamentalist. A marvellous book' Philip Pullman 'This brilliantly structured， deeply felt book is written with the confidence and bravura of a man born to write. Hamid is at the peak of his considerable powers here， and delivers a tightly paced， preternaturally wise book about a thoroughly likable， thoroughly troubled striver in the messiest， most chaotic ring of global economy. Completely unforgettable' Dave Eggers 'Mohsin Hamid is one of the best writers in the world， period. Only a master could have written this propulsive tale of a striver living on the knife's edge， a noir Horatio Alger story for our frenetic， violent times' Ben FountainMohsin Hamid is the author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Moth Smoke. His fiction has been adapted for the cinema， translated into over 30 languages， received numerous awards， and been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. He has contributed essays and short stories to publications such as the Guardian， The New York Times， Financial Times， Granta， and the New Yorker. Born and mostly raised in Lahore， he spent part of his childhood in California， studied at Princeton University and Harvard Law School， and has since lived between Lahore， London and New York.
