Multi-Cultural Book List.
I recently completed reading a book by Hamid Mohsin titled “The Reluctant Fundamentalist” that was published in 2007. The novel takes place during the course of a single evening in an outdoor Lahore cafe, where a bearded Pakistani man called Changez (the Urdu name for Genghis) tells a nervous American stranger about his love affair with, and eventual abandonment of, America. A short story adapted from the novel called “Focus on the Fundamentals” appeared in the Fall 2006 issue of The Paris Review.
I loved the book so much that I asked Lisa, who works at the English Department of Whitworth University to see if anyone had a good list of books by international authors, Doug Sugano, Ph.D. obliged.
I entered the complete list into a “favorites” section of Live Spaces (oddly enough I have no idea how I navigated there in the first place or how to get back) but the complete list, along with ISBN, cover art and hotlinks to Amazon.com is linked below:
