From the internationally bestselling author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist , the boldly imagined tale of a poor boy’s quest for wealth and love.
His first two novels established Mohsin Hamid as a radically inventive storyteller with his finger on the world’s pulse. How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia meets that reputation—and exceeds it. 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 ambitious youths all over “rising Asia.” It follows its nameless hero to the sprawling metropolis where he begins to amass an empire built on thatmost fluid, and increasingly scarce, of goods: water. Yet his heart remains set on something else, on the pretty girl whose star rises along with his, their paths crossing and recrossing, a lifelong affair sparked and snuffed and sparked again by the forces that careen their fates along.
How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia is a striking slice of contemporary life at a time of crushing upheaval. Romantic without being sentimental, political without being didactic, and spiritual without being religious, it brings an unflinching gaze to the violence and hope it depicts. And it creates two unforgettable characters who find moments of transcendent intimacy in the midst of shattering change.

用很有新意的视角和细腻的文笔撰写了一个本质上很俗套的故事，看多了还是审美疲惫

感觉故事本身是cliche的…😂self-help的形式和结构也还挺好玩，读者既是观众也是主人公也是创造者。这门课选的两本小说作者-读者关系都很有趣orz

订阅Life’s Library以来唯一一本不怎么喜欢的书。故事太平铺直叙落于俗套了。一些感情和心理活动的描写还是有亮点的。虽然premise是对self help book的parody但除了形式之外没有太感受到这个反讽。

到70页为止，语气少有的真挚，形式少有的现实主义，思考少有的具有历史深度和地理广度，语言少有的成熟，大大颠覆了我对Reluctant Fundamentalist的坏印象！激动！

Strong style大野心文学水平在当代也是登峰造极 但是感觉hamid个人背景应该很精英风格非常象牙塔 感觉他虽然知道自己在写啥但其实灵魂层面不知道自己到底在写啥。。

因为在Moral Leader的书单里所以就找来看了。写得还算是很真实接地气的。一句话takeaway：生命中可贵的反而是那些钱买不到的
