Industry Reviews
"Mohsin Hamid's second novel is an impressively intelligent thriller. It is short, but as it progresses a grim sense of foreboding thickens until the final sentence, which is a masterstroke of ambiguity. I closed the book with a shudder."

"DARKMANS is just the sort of bravura performance that will probably inspire vitriol in a certain breed of reviewer as too ostentatious, too brazen. Pity them, reader, for being unable to embrace such a loud shout of glorious, untidy, angry, joyous life. Barker is a great, restless novelist, and DARKMANS is a great, restless novel."

"A superb cautionary tale, and a grim reminder of the continuing cost of ethnic profiling....Terse [and] disturbing." (starred review)
