ONE OF THE ATLANTIC'S 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • DAKOTA JOHNSON’S TEATIME PICTURES SEPTEMBER BOOK CLUB PICK ● From a fiercely talented writer poised to be a new generation’s Rachel Cusk or Deborah Levy, a novel set between the London stage and Sicily, about a daughter who turns her novelist father’s fall from grace into a play, and a father who increasingly fears his precocious daughter’s voice.

“A sharp book, beautifully written.” —Rumaan Alam, author of
Leave the World Behind and Entitlement

"Excellent...I enjoyed the novel hugely...Like Edward St Aubyn and Anne Enright, Hamya is so good on generational conflict, the friction of family, and the damage done by charming but complacent men. But
The Hypocrite is a strikingly original book too. I tore through it, shoulders clenched but full of admiration."
—David Nicholls, author of
One Day, in Electric Literature

August 2020. Sophia, a young playwright, awaits her father’s verdict on her new show. A famous author whose novels haven’t aged as gracefully into the modern era as he might have hoped, he is completely unaware that the play centers around a vacation the two took years earlier to an island off Sicily, where he dictated to her a new book. Sophia’s play has been met with rave reviews, but her father has studiously avoided reading any of them. When the house lights dim however, he understands that his daughter has laid him bare, has used the events of their summer to create an incisive, witty, skewering critique of the attitudes and sexual mores of the men of his generation.

Set through one staging of the play, The Hypocrite seamlessly and scorchingly shifts time and perspective, illuminating an argument between a father and his daughter that, with impeccable nuance, examines the fraught inheritances each generation is left to contend with and the struggle to nurture empathy in a world changing at lightning-speed.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A TIME Best Book of the Year • New York Times Book Review September Book Club Pick • Dakota Johnson’s TeaTime Pictures September Book Club Pick

One of the Best Books of August from The New York Times and The Week
A Most Anticipated Book from
Town and Country, Lit Hub, Electric Literature, and The Millions

"A brilliant litmus test of a novel...What Hamya brings to this modern debacle, besides a precision of language and an aptitude for structure that ought to make her contemporaries quake, is a tenderness you don’t see coming."—The Atlantic

“Sharp and agile…Hamya’s staging is savvy; each scene is packed with implication and, often, wit."New York Times Book Review

"Impressive...[The Hypocrite's] pleasures are in the swift, agile way that Ms. Hamya flits between the characters’ thoughts and the past and present...This is an intense, onrushing, highly pressurized book, best experienced in a single sitting, like a play."—Wall Street Journal

Unlikable characters

No plot to mention. Over and over the same conversations.
Life repeats errors and un likability of characters.

A big disappointment

Boring, poorly narrated story (though there’s not much plot) about unlikable characters- all of them.

Consistently boring

While I tried repeatedly to like this book, by the time I got to the end and realized it was the end it was anticlimactic. There was really nothing going on. An egotistical, father, a fragile, equally egotistical, daughter, who cares? Don’t waste your time.
