✨”One thing the arts gets to do is to remind us that we’re making up things as we go along, and that something like race, which we might think of as an actual objective real thing, is an imagined phenomenon, and because it’s imagined, it can be reimagined..... The world bothers me. It isn’t the way I would wish it to be. So the same way my son will walk around the house pretending to be a dinosaur, I try to imagine the world differently, and that can be a world where migration is easier, a world where ideas of race are challenged. It’s what we have storytelling for, in large part.” – Mohsin Hamid on @Newshour last night talking about his bestselling new novel THE LAST WHITE MAN ✨ click link in bio to watch Mohsin’s whole conversation with PBS Newshour!
