THE FIRST NOVEL IN TWENTY YEARS BY THE AWARD WINNING AUTHOR OF AGE
OF ANGER 'A spectacular, illuminating work of fiction' JENNIFER
EGAN 'Terrific . . . elegantly written, incisively observed, and
deeply satisfying to read' KAMILA SHAMSIE 'A book that demands to
be read and rewards reading' MOHSIN HAMID _____________________
Arun knows there is only way out of this small railway town. He is
about to enrol in the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology,
determined to make something of himself. But once there, he meets
two friends who are prepared to go to unimaginable lengths to
succeed. In just a few years, Arun's friends become the success
stories of their generation. In private planes and expensive cars,
from New York to Tuscany, they play out their Gatsby-style
fantasies. In reality, someone is about to pay for their many
transgressions, but who exactly will it be? Will it be Arun? Will
it be Alia, a female writer and influencer, who is piecing together
the story of a global financial scandal? Run and Hide is a novel
about a group of friends in an age of upheaval and breakdown; it is
a story for our times. _____________________ 'Pankaj Mishra returns
to fiction after two decades with a gripping and remarkable novel -
his best work yet. It captures the trajectory of our time through
insights and moments that are startling, pure, and have a strange
inevitability' AMIT CHAUDHURI 'Pankaj Mishra kept us waiting 20
years for a new novel, and it becomes apparent, as soon as you pick
up Run and Hide, that time has honed one of our greatest writing
talents. The narrative draws you in more keenly than any boxset and
the prose shimmers with wisdom. Marvellous' SATHNAM SANGHERA 'A
profound, extraordinarily written, and devastating exploration of
the ways the personal is always already the political.
Unforgettable' NEEL MUKHERJEE 'It is the coup de literature our
demented age needs from one of the finest, bravest writers we have'
