One morning, a man wakes up to find himself transformed. Overnight, Anders's skin has turned dark, and the reflection in the mirror seems a stranger to him. At first he shares his secret only with Oona, an old friend turned new lover. Soon, reports of similar events begin to surface. Across the land, people are awakening in new incarnations, uncertain how their neighbors, friends, and family will greet them.Some see the transformations as the long-dreaded overturning of the established order that must be resisted to a bitter end. In many, like Anders's father and Oona's mother, a sense of profound loss and unease wars with profound love. As the bond between Anders and Oona deepens, change takes on a different shading: a chance at a kind of rebirth-an opportunity to see ourselves, face to face, anew.
In Mohsin Hamid's "lyrical and urgent" prose (O Magazine), The Last White Man uplifts our capacity for empathy and the transcendence it allows, a migration of consciousness powerfully enacted by the novel itself.

ESSENTIAL, TIMELY READING: The Last White Man is yet another instance of Hamid's gift for capturing the zeitgeist in a dazzlingly inventive way. Just as Exit West took on immigration and The Reluctant Fundamentalist responded to the so-called war on terror, here he tackles race, identity, and tribalism - and as with all of his work, the full range of human response to a radically changing world.
A DEEP WELL OF OPTIMISM: More than in his previous work, The Last White Man centers our capacity for empathy and regeneration, as experienced and enacted by the pair of lovers at the heart of the story.
MEDIA DARLING AND DYNAMO: Hamid's astonishing eloquence, wit, multicultural acumen, and genius for making us see ourselves and our current dilemmas in surprising and trenchant ways makes him a perennial media favorite. Top-tier outlets from NPR to Seth Myers are sure to welcome him back.
