    While the cultural narrative divides refugees from nativists and finds reasons to bar refugees from entry to countries, Mohsin Hamid not only reveals the refugee perspective, but also questions the idea of nativism itself as a legitimate reason for division.

In the main plotline, the couple meet and live with other refugees, but the subplots in each chapter – which break from any known characters and jump into a new story entirely – include the magical realism of the doors,…
