"Exit West" er en slags moderne krigs- og kærlighedsfortælling, der vovet forener magisk realisme med grum socialrealisme. En sci-fi-fantasi over flygtningesituationen nu og her, tilsat virkelighedssprækker og eventyrsødme. [Kort uddrag]
Mærkelig bedøvet og ikke ligefrem fuld af overraskelser
Succesforfatters roman er glat som en poleret sten
Pakistanske Mohsin Hamid skriver i en eventyragtig og suggererende stil om flygtninges mange slags hjemløshed og om en verden, der med konflikter og migration er under forvandling. Romanen handler om vores tid, den berører noget væsentlig – og er mærkeligt uvedkommende. [Kort uddrag]
Den optimistiske og vedkommende historie om to migranter, der får et liv på trods, er en form for utopi vokset ud af mareridt. Romanen var shortlistet til Man Booker-prisen i 2017. [Kort uddrag]
