'A vital book for our times' ROBERT MACFARLANE 'Unflinching,
complex, provocative' NIKESH SHUKLA 'A work of astonishing,
insistent importance' Observer Aged eight, Dina Nayeri fled Iran
along with her mother and brother, and lived in the crumbling shell
of an Italian hotel-turned-refugee camp. Eventually she was granted
asylum in America. Now, Nayeri weaves together her own vivid story
with those of other asylum seekers in recent years. In these pages,
women gather to prepare the noodles that remind them of home, a
closeted queer man tries to make his case truthfully as he seeks
asylum and a translator attempts to help new arrivals present their
stories to officials. Surprising and provocative, The Ungrateful
Refugee recalibrates the conversation around the refugee
experience. Here are the real human stories of what it is like to
be forced to flee your home, and to journey across borders in the
hope of starting afresh.
