A Hologram for the King

A Hologram for the King takes us around the world to show how one man fights to hold himself and his splintering family together in the face of the global economy s gale-force winds. In a rising Saudi Arabian city, far from weary, recession-scarred America, a struggling businessman pursues a last-ditch attempt to stave off foreclosure, pay his daughter s college tuition, and finally do something great. This taut, richly layered, and elegiac novel is a powerful evocation of our contemporary moment and a moving story of how we got here.
