How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia By Mohsin
Hamid What does it take for you to climb from
complete poverty to a mansion, bullet-proof car
and bodyguards? Twelve simple rules . . . How to
Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia is the story of a
young boy, born into a poor family. As the years
pass, he moves to a slum in the city, gets a brief
education, flirts with militancy, and then, hungry
for advancement, sets up a bottled water business,
the ultimate symbol of the modern South Asian
city—a place where nothing works but everything
can be had at a price. But as he leaves his past
behind, one thing remains constant and true—his
love for the girl he met as a teenager. Told
through the conventions of a self-help guide to
becoming rich, this is a dazzling and virtuoso
novel from the acclaimed author of The Reluctant
Fundamentalist.
