Homeland Elegies: A Novel by Ayad Akhtar


Homeland Elegies, Ayad Akhtar's second and most recent book, is a melange of fact and fiction that aims to talk about the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. It is an intense and controversial narrative about identity, belonging to a family and society, and fulfilling one’s dream. 

Ayad Akhtar bravely portrays a country in economic disparity-- a place where inequality happens whether in class or race, further making immigrants dwell in anxiety. The nation continues its cries, but such actions are merely a shout into a void. With this book, Akhtar uses another method to expose everything through the life of a single family.

British Indian novelist and essayist Salman Rushdie praised and described the book as "passionate, disturbing, unputdownable."
