Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
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, these men are about to pay for their transgressions, but who exactly will pay the price? Will it be Arun? Will it be Alia, a female writer and influencer, who is piecing together the story of a big 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.
Critic reviews
"Terrific...elegantly written, incisively observed and deeply satisfying to read." (Kamila Shamsie)
"A book that demands to be read and rewards reading." (Mohsin Hamid)
"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)

Disappointing.
I’ve read and been absorbed by the author’s political non-fiction writing and had read mixed reviews about this novel. I gave it a go and, overall, I found it disappointing. The political themes are interesting but poorly crafted into a fictional narrative with quite weak characterization. The storyline lacks momentum and feels structurally impotent. I really like Mishra and his political non-fiction writing, but he’s no novelist.
