Mohsin Hamid on how his post-9/11 life inspired The Last White Man and what makes Irish writing different
‘One morning Anders, a white man, woke up to find he had turned a deep and undeniable brown.” So begins Mohsin Hamid’s fifth and latest novel, The Last White Man. The slim volume imagines a world in which white people lose their whiteness. Anders is the first to undergo this transformation, followed by his girlfriend, Oona, and her racist mother, until only his dying father, who lends the novel its title, remains.
