We're ending spooky season with magical realism and orange wine. Alexa and Maritza crack open “Exist West” by Mohsin Hamid while sipping on Maturana Naranjo Torontel. The duo dives into the book's themes and topics—a story about migration, loss, war, the unknown, but ultimately, love and compassion.

‘Exit West’ was chosen by Barack Obama as one of his favourite books of last year. The author Mohsin Hamid, joins Paul Smith in the Penguin studio, and has chosen five objects that have inspired his book. They include a book by C.S. Lewis, a photograph of a bomb blast in Lahore taken by his sister and a CD by Gilberto Gil and Jorge Ben. Mohsin is a two time Booker prize nominee and his novel ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’ was made into a major motion picture starring Riz Ahmed and Kate Hudson. #PenguinPodcast Hosted on Acast.

“The feeling of being a migrant is a universal one” explains Mohsin Hamid, the award-winning novelist of Exit West and The Reluctant Fundamentalist. With the rise of technology, globalisation and fake news, we’re living in an absurd present and uncertain future. In this episode, we journey through stories from Mohsin’s books and his writing form to explore the concept of migration being a fundamental human right. The interview provides a fresh and diverse voice on the state of international politics today, the global immigrant crisis and highlights the role of fiction as the human species evolves from storytelling around campfires to glowing screens.

September 5, 2017 Internationally acclaimed novelist Mohsin Hamid, author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist (Harcourt, 2007) and How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia (Riverhead Books, 2013), speaks about his newest work Exit West (Riverhead Books, 2017). Set in a world much like modern society, with some surreal twists, this timely and highly acclaimed novel explores the experience of two ordinary people, Saeed and Nadia, who become refugees when their world is suddenly upended. Their condition as migrants—facilitated, fantastically, by secret portals that whisk them away to unknown destinations—vividly evokes migration crises faced in many parts of the world, but also suggests that “migration” may be a permanent condition that all people share. The challenges these characters face, including how to negotiate their evolving relationship, require them to define and redefine their notions of love, loss, belief, and identity.
