Moth Smoke by Mohsin Hamid

The year is 1998, Daru has just managed to lose his job in Lahore. As the economy crumbles around him, his electricity is cut off, and the jet set parties behind high walls, Daru takes the bright steps of falling for his best friend's wife and giving heroin a try. This is the story of his decline.
Mohsin Hamid grew up in Lahore, Pakistan, where he failed to achieve much renown during rather brief stints as a car salesman, journalist, and lawyer. He studied at Princeton under Toni Morrison and Harvard Law, and currently lives in New York City. This is his first novel.
