Pankaj Mishra transforms a visceral, intimate story of one man's humble origins into a kaleidoscopic portrait of a society bedazzled by power and wealth - what it means on a human level, and what it costs. <b><i>Run and Hide</i> is a spectacular, illuminating work of fiction</b>
- Jennifer Egan,
In his first novel in more than 20 years, acclaimed essayist Mishra splices a cautionary tale with elegant examination of globalisation and the perils of the changing world order. <b>Immensely thought-provoking</b>
Mail on Sunday
The first novel in more than 20 years from the essayist and cultural analyst Pankaj Mishra is as <b>sharp, provocative and engagé</b> as you'd expect... As an exuberant chronicle of a late capitalist world fatally mediated by Twitter and Instagram, <b><i>Run and Hide</i> might be the most zeitgeisty novel you could read</b>
Spectator
A wonderfully rich and enjoyable novel . . . a work for our time and one that will surely be read many years on for what will then be its historical interest . . . <b>a novel built to last</b>
Scotsman
A lyrical letter from the new India...a profoundly literary voice, as interested in how to write about a subject as the subject itself
