SinopsisENTITLEMENT

A novel of money and morality from the New York Times bestselling author of Leave the World Behind

Brooke wants. She isn't in need, but there are things she wants. A sense of purpose, for instance. She wants to make a difference in the world, to impress her mother along the way, to spend time with friends and secure her independence. Her job assisting an octogenarian billionaire in his quest to give away a vast fortune could help her achieve many of these goals. It may inspire new desires as well: proximity to wealth turns out to be nothing less than transformative. What is money, really, but a kind of belief?

Taut, unsettling, and alive to the seductive distortions of money, Entitlement is a riveting tale for our new gilded age, a story that confidently considers questions about need and worth, race and privilege, philanthropy and generosity, passion and obsession. It is a provocative, propulsive novel about the American imagination.

RUMAN ALAAM
Author Rumaan Alam breaks down the different types of horror in Leave The World Behind, the brand new Netflix film starring Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Myha'la and Kevin Bacon.

"What is more horrifying as the monster under the bed or the killer in the closet, than the very planet breaking or becoming unrecognisable?"

Rumaan discusses how the novel plays with noise and time, examines our compulsiveness to buy, and how the eerily timeless book offers a dissection of modern liberal America.
