From the internationally bestselling author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist , the boldly imagined tale of a poor boy’s quest for wealth and love.
His first two novels established Mohsin Hamid as a radically inventive storyteller with his finger on the world’s pulse. How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia meets that reputation—and exceeds it. the astonishing and riveting tale of a man’s journey from impoverished rural boy to corporate tycoon, it steals its shape from the business self-help books devoured by ambitious youths all over “rising Asia.” It follows its nameless hero to the sprawling metropolis where he begins to amass an empire built on thatmost fluid, and increasingly scarce, of goods: water. Yet his heart remains set on something else, on the pretty girl whose star rises along with his, their paths crossing and recrossing, a lifelong affair sparked and snuffed and sparked again by the forces that careen their fates along.
How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia is a striking slice of contemporary life at a time of crushing upheaval. Romantic without being sentimental, political without being didactic, and spiritual without being religious, it brings an unflinching gaze to the violence and hope it depicts. And it creates two unforgettable characters who find moments of transcendent intimacy in the midst of shattering change.

A fate-of-half-life style love story in the form of self-help book, a new approach to a romantic novel. The writer adopts a different writing style that is both refreshing and touching. He writes like a gentle version of Junot Diaz.

评分第一印象是对自助书的parody,用第二人称写的个人故事。但实质上主人公的故事有原型的特征,所以刻板印象和cliche的指控可能恰恰是内涵所在。当然刻板印象和对刻板印象有意识的挪用永远是值得辨析的话题,特别是当you代指的大多是西方读者的情况下,这本书的声明难免让人警觉。
评分its a very boring book to me...the 2nd person point of view confuses me ...the book is quite an innovative once since it is a parody of self-help bk while what it tells is a person's life story,but i just didnt have the interest in reading it ~_~ i dont know what i've learned about life/love/getting rich
评分这书名和故事有什么关系?而且这故事真尼玛没劲,特别不喜欢作者用第二人称视角写,怎么还有人说写的特逗笑的坐错了车,咱们看的是一本书么。
