和他的小說一樣,這些評論性、迴憶性的散文亦多短小精悍,平易近人,閱讀起來無壓迫感,淺白卻不失細膩微妙,不時透齣哈米德作為小說傢一麵的含蓄善感。

評分P. 44 I landed in London, like so many foreigners, looking for a London that did not exist. Or rather, I was looking for London to express in its whole something that was true only if tiny parts of it. p. 45 This was my first experience of what I would come to recognize as growing American self-censorship. It was also the first time I became aw

Praise for Discontent and its Civilizations
"Smart doesn’t begin to describe Hamid; he is the sort of thinker that could change hearts and minds."—Booklist
“Honest and candid…Passion and hope infuse Hamid's most incisive dispatches.”—Kirkus Reviews
“[Discontent] give[s] a vivid sense of life lived close to the headlines…the recurring theme — that individuals matter more than the groups we try to assign them to — is as relevant as ever. And…the writing… is as simple, immediate and moving as any of Hamid’s fiction.” —Financial Times
"Electric." —The Guardian
“In contrast with the debased language of extremism, militarism and nationalism, [Hamid’s] is a humane and rational voice demanding a better future.” —Sunday Telegraph (UK)
“Vivid touches…elevate Hamid’s intelligent… commentaries above the commonplace…Discontent suggests Mohsin Hamid is reasonable, intelligent….and humble. In short, just the sort of commentator the world could do with right now.” —The Independent (UK)
“Lucid, informative and drily funny, these essays show that Hamid is one of the most perceptive commentators on contemporary global politics” —The Sunday Times (UK)
“Elegantly crafted essays confront everything from the future of Pakistan and the death of Osama bin Laden to fatherhood and falling in love. The insights into Hamid’s literary style and influence will delight devotees of his work and intrigue newcomers…Hamid makes a compelling case for pushing back against the mono-identities of religion, nationality and race and for embracing the things that all human beings share” —The Prospect (UK)
“Accessible, wise and beautifully clear.” —Metro (UK)
