This "beautiful novel . . . has echoes of The Great Gatsby": an
immigrant father and his son search for belonging--in post-Trump
America, and with each other (Dwight Garner, New York Times). One
of the New York Times 10 Best Books of the Year One of Barack
Obama's Favorite Books of 2020 A Best Book of 2020 * Entertainment
Weekly * Washington Post * O Magazine * New York Times Book Review
* Publishers Weekly * NPR * The Economist * Shelf Awareness *
Library Journal * St. Louis Post-Dispatch * Slate Finalist for the
2021 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction A deeply
personal work about identity and belonging in a nation coming apart
at the seams, Homeland Elegies blends fact and fiction to tell an
epic story of longing and dispossession in the world that 9/11
made. Part family drama, part social essay, part picaresque novel,
at its heart it is the story of a father, a son, and the country
they both call home. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ayad Akhtar
forges a new narrative voice to capture a country in which debt has
ruined countless lives and the gods of finance rule, where
immigrants live in fear, and where the nation's unhealed wounds
wreak havoc around the world. Akhtar attempts to make sense of it
all through the lens of a story about one family, from a heartland
town in America to palatial suites in Central Europe to guerrilla
lookouts in the mountains of Afghanistan, and spares no one--least
of all himself--in the process. "Passionate, disturbing,
unputdownable." --Salman Rushdie
