About How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia by Mohsin Hamid
Mohsin Hamid frames this novel around the promise of business self-help: a poor boy leaves rural life for a sprawling metropolis and pursues wealth, eventually building an empire around water. The story follows his rise from impoverished beginnings to corporate success, using that journey to examine ambition in a rapidly changing, globalized society.
Alongside the quest for money is a lifelong, repeatedly interrupted relationship with a girl whose fortunes also change over time. The novel’s self-help-book structure and its blend of personal, political, and spiritual concerns may appeal to readers of inventive contemporary fiction interested in love, social upheaval, and the costs of pursuing success.
