<br/><br/> A commentary on life, art, politics, and "the war on terror". Hamid's stories are timeless and of-the-moment, and his themes are universal: love, language, ambition, power, corruption, religion, family, identity. Here, he explores these themes from a different angle in essays that counterpoise the personal and the political.  He has called three countries on three continents his home-Pakistan, the birthplace to which he returned as a young father; the United States, where he spent his childhood and young adulthood; and Britain, where he married and became a citizen-Hamid writes about overlapping worlds.
