Exit West by Mohsin Hamid

“We are all migrants through time.”
I didn’t expect to start this book and inhale 3/4 of it in one night. I love his writing, even or especially the paragraph-long sentences. I was left feeling confused as to why ghost characters don’t work for me (Sing, Unburied, Sing) yet random door portals are perfectly fine. He worked them in seamlessly. And it reminded me of The Underground Railroad in terms of a device that is integral in moving the story forward quickly.
