An extraordinary story of love and hope from the bestselling, Man Booker-shortlisted author ofThe Reluctant Fundamentalist

All over the world, doors are appearing.
They lead to other cities, other countries, other lives.

And in a city gripped by war, Nadia and Saeed are newly in love.
Hardly more than strangers, desperate to survive, they open a door and step through.

But the doors only go one way.
Once you leave, there is no going back.

Recenzii

As withthe very best literature, itscrystalline readabilityfast eclipses its topicality
[A] devastating portrait of victims of war, creating a singular parable about modernity, migration and the individual's place in the world
A deceptively simple conceit turns a timely novel about a couple fleeing a civil war into a profound meditation on the psychology of exile. A novel that fuses the real with the surreal - perhaps the most faithful way to convey the tremulous political fault lines of our interconnected planet
No conventional love story. [An] exceptionally moving and powerful novel
Publisher's description. In an unnamed city swollen by refugees, two young people fall in love. One day soon they will have to leave their homeland, running for their lives, searching for their place in the world.
Powerful, vivid, poignant... Hamid is the master
Writing in spare, crystalline prose, Hamid conveys the experience of living in a city under siege with sharp, stabbing immediacy

A love story as spare, haunting and spiritually powerful as a haiku.All my life I will remember Nadia and Saeed, their humanity against a surreal, broken landscape.Exit Westis Hamid's finest book
Imaginative, inventive, graceful... Hamid exploits fiction's capacity toelicit empathy and imagine a better world
Asubtle and movingexamination of how human relationships endure and falter under unimaginable pressures.Exit Westis an instant classic
Impressive...Exit Westconfirms Hamid's reputation as a brilliant ventriloquist who is deeply engaged with the most pressing issues of our time
Astonishing
Immediately canonical

Part pared-down romance, part 21st-century fable,Exit Westis a thought experiment that pivots on the crucial figure of this century: the migrant
Exit Westpacks such an emotional wallop you will be thinking about it for days afterwards. For Hamid is not only telling a story, he is asking what sort of a world we want to live in.
It's a terrific, beautifully constructed, important novel of our time. This is what we expect fiction to do: to examine our age but also to cast an eye on the past and - very brilliantly in this case - on the future too. I love it.
Exit Westis a masterpiece. It stretches the boundaries of the real just enough to make a point about the state of immigrants and refugees in the contemporary world. But it's very much grounded in reality. It's a beautiful book.
Mohsin Hamid is one of the most talented and formally audacious writers of his generation
A man born to write
The voice of a changing continent. A writer at the top of his game
