Title: compelling first novel
Product review: If you've ever wondered what Generation X is up to in Pakistan, this novel will provide some answers. It traces Daru -- a young professional fired from his job -- as he spirals from (outward) respectability to pitifulness. Like all good Generation X books, _Moth Smoke_ has angsty, drug-addled youngsters trying to find their ways in life and generally being disappointed. What separates this novel from others of the genre is that the author succeeds in making us feel so deeply the despair of his characters. I await his next novel eagerly.
