Fiction
At a café
table in Lahore, a bearded Pakistani man converses with an
uneasy
American stranger. As dusk deepens to night, he begins the
tale that
has brought them to this fateful meeting . . .
Changez
is living an immigrant’s dream of America. At the top of his
class at
Princeton, he is snapped up by the elite "valuation" firm of
Underwood
Samson. He thrives on the energy of New York, and his
infatuation with
elegant, beautiful Erica promises entry into Manhattan
society at the
same exalted level once occupied by his own family back in
Lahore.
But
in the wake of September 11, Changez finds his position in
his adopted
city suddenly overturned, and his budding relationship with
Erica
eclipsed by the reawakened ghosts of her past. And Changez’s own
identity is in seismic shift as well, unearthing allegiances
more
fundamental than money, power, and maybe even love.
