A Beyond the Book Conversation with Mohsin Hamid about his internationally acclaimed novel Exit West. Literary Affairs own Julie Robinson sat down with Mohsin Hamid for an intimate book club discussion about his novel answering a lot of the questions that were discussed in many of our Literary Affairs book clubs. Highlights included the genesis of some of the beautiful passages in the novel, how he differentiated his story from other migrant stories, love, parenting, and maintaining hope in our world as it changes. Our first Beyond the Book podcast is a brief excerpt from an hour long in depth conversation, that took place in the hip bar at the Hotel Bel-Air, and was followed by a Q&A with the audience.
