Homeland Elegies

'Passionate, disturbing, unputdownabe' Salman Rushdie 'Part 1001 Nights - part Reality TV... passionate, wrenching' Jennifer Eagan 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 is the story of a father and son, and the country they call home. In a story that ranges from the heartland towns of middle America to palatial suites in Davos 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 above all novel written in love and anger, which spares no one, least of all the author himself.
