Discontent and Its Civilizations: Dispatches from Lahore, New York, and London by Mohsin Hamid

4.0

Nice quick read. Felt like conversing with a friend. This book has a few sections, split between his lived experiences, art and how it has affected his life, and then the political views he expresses at the end.

“The United States needs to address this contradiction. It seeks to stand for national greatness and human equality. Yet its greatness is in part built upon the denial of the equality of others outside its borders” (141).

Learned a bit from another perspective and how small things stick with us over time.
