Review: DISCONTENT AND ITS CIVILIZATIONS is a series of essays and diary entries by the writer Moshin Hamid that describe his life and growth a novelist, philosopher and parent.
What makes Hamid unique is his perspective as a creative, open-minded Pakistani artist and writer. He has a brilliant mind, and his thoughts give you insight into what it’s like to be Pakistani in the modern world, where Islamic fundamentalism and Western ideals clash and often turn violent.
Hamid is caught in the middle because he loves his country and the West equally, and he must struggle bring them together to make sense of the world he inhabits.
Rating: ★★★
