I was deeply impressed by Rumaan Alam at a virtual book club meet. He is a brilliant highly inspiring speaker in addition to being a great writer.„Leave the world behind“ takes a deeply unsettling look at coping with the possible end of the world through the microcosm of one Brooklyn family’s interrupted Hamptons vacation. What starts out as a novel of family, class and race becomes something more sinister, and Alam brings about these developments in small moments, adeptly capturing each character’s reaction to change, devastation, and uncertainty. When the writing pans out to hint at the big picture—which it does occasionally, in snippets—you read it hungrily, relieved at having some context, and find yourself increasingly empathetic toward characters blundering forward without it.Leave the World Behind ultimately invites readers to consider themselves through the lens of characters making tough decisions in the absence of information. How would you behave in the same situation? The scenarios feel eerily prescient and uncomfortable
