''In the Light of What We Know'' is the debut novel of Zia Haider Rahman. First published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, the novel was released in the spring of 2014 to international critical acclaim and earned its author the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, Britain’s oldest literary prize. The novel is to be translated into several languages.〔(Author's website )〕 ==Outline== Much of the novel is set during the war in Afghanistan at the beginning of the century and the financial crisis of 2007–08. One September morning in 2008, an investment banker approaching forty, his career in collapse and his marriage unraveling, receives a surprise visitor at his townhouse in South Kensington. In the disheveled figure of a South Asian male carrying a backpack, the banker recognizes a long-lost friend, a mathematics prodigy who disappeared years earlier under mysterious circumstances. The friend has resurfaced to make a confession of unsettling power. The story ranges from Kabul to London, New York, Islamabad, Dhaka, Oxford, and Princeton, NJ—and explores the questions of love, belonging, science, and war. At its heart is the friendship of two men and the betrayal of one by the other.〔() Retrieved on December 27, 2014.〕〔() Retrieved on December 27, 2014.〕 Reviewers have said that "the book challenges any attempt at summary."〔(April 11, 2014), ("The Banker, the Visitor, His Wife and Her Lover" ), ''The New York Times''.
