In Land of Lincoln, Andrew Ferguson packs his bags and embarks on a journey to the heart of contemporary Lincoln Nation, where he encounters a world as funny as it is poignant, and a population as devoted as it is colorful.

The Reluctant Fundamentalist
The Reluctant Fundamentalist, by Mohsin Hamid
At a café in Lahore, a bearded Pakistani man converses with an uneasy American stranger. As dusk deepens into night, he begins his tale of the American dream. Changez is a Princeton grad, successful business man and romantic. But in the wake of 9/11, we see how Changez’s identity shifts, as he quickly loses all that he has gained and questions his allegiances. (Pub. Rev.) Copies of the reading available at the library.
