On Friday 24th March in collaboration with Guiding Voices and the Veerhuis we will be presenting an evening with the British-Pakistani author Mohsin Hamid in the Paradijskerk, where he will talk to Naema Tahir about his latest novel The Last White Man.
‘Mohsin Hamid makes it painfully clear what it is like to be suddenly made an outsider.’ – de Volkskrant
Mohsin Hamid’s The Last White Man (2022) tells the story of the white man Anders, who wakes up one morning to find that his skin has turned dark. It transpires that he is not the only one, and there is no cure. In a society where everyone gradually changes colour, fear and aggression await, but the threat is short-lived. When the last white man is buried, the apparent simplicity of a uniform world is left.
