Summary

FROM THE AWARD WINNING AUTHOR OF AGE OF ANGER COMES A GATSBY-ESQUE TALE OF WEALTH AND AMBITION

'A book that demands to be read' MOHSIN HAMID

'Terrific . . . deeply satisfying to read' KAMILA SHAMSIE


Arun and his two classmates, Aseem and Virendra, are the success stories of their generation. As graduates of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, they have smashed social barriers and played-out Gatsby-style fantasies across the globe.

Run and Hide is a lyrical and piercing story of morality, materialism and upheaval in an every-changing world.

'Sharp, provocative and engaging . . . Run and Hide might be the most zeitgeisty novel you could read' SPECTATOR

'It'll entertain the hell out of you' MOHAMMED HANIF

'A novel of loss and moral collapse worthy of Henry James' JOSHUA FERRIS

Reviews

  • Pankaj Mishra transforms a visceral, intimate story of one man's humble origins into a kaleidoscopic portrait of a society bedazzled by power and wealth - what it means on a human level, and what it costs. Run and Hide is a spectacular, illuminating work of fiction
    Jennifer Egan
