Description
In this provocative and imaginative novel, a mysterious phenomenon transforms the world overnight: white people are waking up with dark skin. When Anders, the protagonist, experiences this inexplicable change, his entire existence is upended, forcing him to confront his identity, relationships, and place in a rapidly shifting society. Through this speculative premise, Hamid explores themes of privilege, belonging, and the fragility of identity in our interconnected world. With the same lyrical prose and social commentary that defined Exit West, this slim, thought-provoking novel examines how personal transformation mirrors broader cultural upheaval. A meditation on love, loss, and rediscovery in times of unsettling change, The Last White Man challenges readers to question assumptions about race, power, and what it means to truly see one another.
