Award-winning novelist and bestselling writer of The Reluctant Fundamentalist Mohsin Hamid talks to The Sunday Times assistant literary editor Robert Collins about his new work, How to get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia. The novel tells the story of one man’s journey from impoverished rural boy to corporate tycoon, and it takes its shape from the business self-help books that are being devoured by youths all over Asia. The story is both one of building a business empire and of a love affair.

Hamid’s fiction, which also includes Moth Smoke, has been translated into 30 languages and adapted for the cinema. The Reluctant Fundamentalist was shortlisted for the Booker award.
