It's a new phenomenon that goes just beyond books, but I think it's important to actually do an overview of the last white man. Basically the characters suffer through these apocalyptic changes as violence escalates as whites disappear. Pale skinned militants in woodland camo stalk the streets attacking people with impunity from the cops. But a calm settles upon the world once whites disappear from its face forever.

A book like this, which is somewhere between racial exterminationist literature with a kind of wistful touch and liberal pornography could only be written about one group. And that privilege is reserved for whites.

There are these lines in Last White Man, Mohsen Hamid's beautiful new book that I keep coming back to.

So the novel begins with a young man named Anders who thinks of himself as white. And he wakes up one morning and he's dark.

It's a beautiful formalistic book, the kind of book that sort of imprinted on the way I thought for a little while.

I really loved it. I really recommend people listening pick it up. There's so much beyond what you heard here.
