Homeland Elegies
Akhtar Ayad
AN ECONOMIST, NEW YORK TIMES AND WASHINGTON
POST BOOK OF THE YEAR
'Outstanding... it is hard to convey the
breadth and brilliance of this work' Observer
'A beautiful novel about an American son and
his immigrant father that has echoes of THE GREAT GATSBY' New York Times
A deeply personal novel of identity and
belonging in a nation coming apart at the seams, HOMELAND ELEGIES blends fact
and fiction to tell an epic story of belonging and dispossession in the world
that 9/11 made. Part family drama, part satire, part picaresque, at its heart
it is the story of a father and son, and the country they call home.
Ranging from the heartland towns of America
to palatial suites in Europe to guerrilla lookouts in the mountains of
Afghanistan, Akhtar forges a narrative voice that is original as it is
exuberantly entertaining. This is a world in which debt has ruined countless
lives and the gods of finance rule, where immigrants live in fear and the
unhealed wounds of 9/11 continue to wreak havoc. HOMELAND ELEGIES is a novel
written in love and anger, which spares no one, least of all the author
himself.
