Media Reviews
PRAISE FOR THE RELUCTANT FUNDAMENTALIST
Elegant and chilling . . . his tale [has] an Arabian Nights-style urgency: the end of the story may mean the death of the teller. --The New York Times Book Review Slender, smart, and subversive. --Entertainment Weekly Changez's voice is extraordinary. Cultivated, restrained, yet also barbed and passionate, it evokes the power of butler Stevens in Kazuo Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day. --The Seattle Times A searing and powerful account of a Pakistani in New York after 9/11. --Mira Nair, director of The Namesake
