The book offers a focused and detailed scholarship on identity and politics in Mohsin Hamid's early fiction i.e Moth Smoke and The Reluctant Fundamentalist. Mohsin Hamid is recognised for revolutionizing the modern Pakistani literature and has been accredited worldwide. He is very insistent in his writings to describe the new facets of Pakistan to his readers who wish to get apprised with Pakistan. It is also due to the limited information/misinformation of this part of the world that he continues to make the Western audience curious about. His art is well received and the craft with which he takes up the core issues of identity and politics is something which establishes him as a literary giant in the contemporary world of fiction.
