Chris's Reviews > Entitlement

"Entitlement" is hypnotic: a brilliant fever dream of the allure of money and what money means. But this is no ordinary tale of grifters and schemers: it's a story of one woman seduced by the world of philanthropy, who begins to confuse what people need with what she wants -- and the unraveling is catnip for a reader like me. I devoured LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND and devoured this one, too. I love Alam's work for a lot of reasons, but I think a big one is this: he understands well the most eerie, uncomfortable corners of the human psyche and brings them to light. This new novel arrives in September. You'll love it.
