The Reluctant Fundamentalist

Reluctant Fundamentalist is a monologue given by an unreliable narrator about the emotional upheaval he went through in America post the events of 9/11.
While reading this book, I really liked the portrayal of the downward emotional spiral that Changez goes through but his criticism of the American government lacks nuance.
This book is quite a short read and that's possibly one of the reasons why all the points it makes regarding the American society feel superficial, at best.
I do agree that this book is a good introduction to contemporary fiction that's not western but if you don't need that, this would just feel like a regurgitation.
