"Homeland Elegies blends fact and fiction to tell a story of longing and dispossession in the world that 9/11 made. In a book that is part family drama, part social essay, part picaresque novel, 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 in the process"--From the publisher's web site. 20210422.
