Easy enough to do, actually, because at just 209 pages and typeset in a relatively large font, this is more a novella than a novel, and hence it’s a very quick read.Īn international bestseller that has been translated into some 16 languages, The Reluctant Fundamentalist has also been shortlisted for a host of literary awards including the Man Booker Prize 2007, the Commonwealth Writers Prize 2007 and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize 2008. The careful positioning of it - especially on the “3 for 2” tables - obviously works, because against my better judgment I recently bought a copy and devoured it in one sitting. Visit any bookstore in London right now and it’s hard to miss the displays of Mohsin Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist - it seems to be everywhere. Fiction – paperback Penguin 209 pages 2008.
