Overnight, Anders’s skin has turned dark, and the reflection in the mirror seems a stranger to him. 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 in new incarnations, uncertain how their neighbors, friends, and family will greet them.Some see the transformations as the long-dreaded overturning of the established order that must 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 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn Mohsin Hamid’s “lyrical and urgent” prose (\u003ci\u003eO Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eThe Last White Man\u003c\/i\u003e powerfully uplifts our capacity for empathy and the transcendence over bigotry, fear, and anger it can achieve.","brand":"Hamid, Mohsin","offers":[{"title":"Hardback (Adult Fiction)","offer_id":44077451739360,"sku":"","price":21.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_1fda96a4-3148-4a2a-bae9-ecf88726b333.jpg?v=1688662722","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/the-last-white-manbooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
