The Last White Man: A Novel by Mohsin Hamid
Beginning Sunday September 25, 2022
9:00-9:50 AM Congregational Care Room
This book powerfully uplifts our capacity for empathy and the transcendence over bigotry, fear, and anger it can achieve. One morning, a man wakes up to find himself transformed. Overnight, Anders’s skin has turned dark, and the reflection in the mirror seems a stranger to him. Soon, reports of similar events begin to surface. Some see the transformations as the long-dreaded overturning of the established order that must be resisted to a bitter end. In many, a sense of profound loss and unease wars with profound love. As the bond between Anders and Oona deepens, change takes on a different shading: a chance at a kind of rebirth–an opportunity to see ourselves, face to face, anew.
