Description

A New York Times Book of the Year and Washington Post Book of the Year, Homeland Elegies is a deeply personal novel about an American son and his immigrant father. Blending fact and fiction, Ayad Akhtar tells an epic story of belonging and dispossession in a nation coming apart at the seams. Part family drama, part satire, part picaresque, this novel explores the complexities of identity and belonging in a world where debt has ruined countless lives and the gods of finance rule. Akhtar's narrative voice is original and exuberantly entertaining, forging a story that ranges from heartland towns to palatial suites in Europe to guerrilla lookouts in Afghanistan. Written in love and anger, Homeland Elegies spares no one, least of all the author himself. This powerful novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of identity, culture, and belonging in contemporary America.
