Read this book and then you must see the extraordinary film directed by Mira Nair, also titled The Reluctant Fundamentalist. Both the book and the novel force us to think beyond the great American success story of family wealth or immigrant success to examine what happens to the soul of those who are blighted by what they are born into or what compromises they make to gain wealth and approval. Both the book and the film are haunting and brilliant.
