The Last White Man Mohsin Hamid

Anthony Gardner

Hamish Hamilton £12.99

Anders, a popular gym assistant, wakes one morning to find that his skin has turned from white to brown. He’s not alone: soon people all over town are changing colour. Some of them react with violence, and Anders is forced to take refuge with his dying father. Meanwhile, his girlfriend’s mother falls prey to racist conspiracy theories. Thin on characterisation, but written with elegance and surprising optimism, Hamid’s fable is an engaging new take on an old idea.
