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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRanging 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akhtar, Ayad","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52110976647507,"sku":"9781472276889","price":24.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":52110976680275,"sku":"XV81472276889","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/akhtar-ayad-ayad-akhtar-homeland-elegies-2020-hardback-1197415837.jpg?v=1760385686","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/ayad-akhtar-homeland-elegies-2020-hardback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
