Adding New Changes[edit]

Hi. My name is Cavanagh Williams and I'm planning on adding new changes. I will be adding a background, style/genre, analysis, and publication section. I will also be making edits to the plot section, and will add some information to the reception page. I'm also a student a Georgetown, so I will be working on this Wikipedia page as a project for a class. I will also be including a bibliography for what I'm planning on adding to the sections. Chw53 (talk) 13:12, 29 November 2021 (UTC)Green, G. (2017, 06). Mohsin hamid. New Internationalist, , 46. Retrieved from https://www.proquest.com/magazines/mohsin-hamid/docview/1902096388/se-2?accountid=11091 This article is an interview with Moshinhamid. It would serve really usefully in a background section.[reply]

"Mohsin Hamid." Gale Literature: Contemporary Authors, Gale, 2018. Gale In Context: Biography, link.gale.com/apps/doc/H1000145263/BIC?u=wash43584&sid=bookmark-BIC&xid=af629ae7. Accessed 17 Nov. 2021. This article is more of a biography on Moshin Hamid. There’s a lot of information that can be included in a background section.

Magdalena Mączyńska, “People Are Monkeys Who Have Forgotten That They Are Monkeys”: The Refugee as Eco-Cosmopolitan Allegory in Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West, ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment, Volume 28, Issue 3, Autumn 2021, Pages 1089–1106, https://doi.org/10.1093/isle/isaa082

This article includes a summary and reception of the Exit West. A lot of the information from this article can be used in the reception and summary section on Wikipedia.

Shazia Sadaf (2020) “We are all migrants through time”: History and geography in Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West, Journal of Postcolonial Writing, 56:5, 636-647, DOI: 10.1080/17449855.2020.1820667 This article does a great job of comparing Exit West to current events today in the world. This would be very valuable under analysis, reception, and genre.

Naydan, Liliana M. "DIGITAL SCREENS AND NATIONAL DIVIDES IN MOHSIN HAMID'S EXIT WEST." Studies in the Novel, vol. 51, no. 3, fall 2019, pp. 433+. Gale Literature Resource Center, link.gale.com/apps/doc/A600918138/LitRC?u=wash43584&sid=bookmark-LitRC&xid=e63f0945. Accessed 17 Nov. 2021.

This article gives an interesting perspective on the themes of technology and physical disconnect that Hamid is trying to portray. Would love to include points/quotes from this in the Wikipedia article under analysis.

Perfect, Michael. “‘Black Holes in the Fabric of the Nation’: Refugees in Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West.” Journal for Cultural Research, vol. 23, no. 2, June 2019, pp. 187–201. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1080/14797585.2019.1665896. This article gives an honest and completely unbiased review of Exit West in extreme detail. This will be extremely helpful in reception because it’s one of the only reviews that included negativity towards the book.

This article gives a brief summary of Exit West. Will be helpful because it includes information about what type of genre Exit West falls into. Chw53 (talk) 13:12, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
