Homeland Elegies: A Barack Obama Favourite Book

A 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 TimesA 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.
