Overnight, Anders's skin has turned dark, and the reflection in the mirror seems a stranger tohim. At first he shares his secret only with Oona, an old friend turned new lover. Soon, reports of similar events begin to surface. Across the land, people are awakening innew incarnations, uncertain how their neighbors, friends, and family will greet them.Some see the transformations asthe long-dreaded overturning of the established order thatmust be resisted to a bitter end. In many, like Anders's father and Oona's mother, a sense of profound loss and unease wars with profound love. As the bond between Andersand Oona deepens, change takes on a different shading: a chance at a kind of rebirth--an opportunity to see ourselves, face to face, anew. In Mohsin Hamid's "lyrical and urgent" prose (O Magazine), The Last White Man upliftsour capacity for empathy and the transcendence it allows, a migration of consciousness powerfully enacted by the novel itself"--$cProvided by publisher.
