Homeland Elegies

by Ayad Akhtar

"A son, a father, and an America that promised more than it gave."

Blending memoir and fiction, Pulitzer-winning playwright Akhtar traces a Pakistani-American family's love affair — and disillusionment — with the American dream after 9/11. Furious, funny and forensic.

Worth knowing

Named one of the New York Times' 10 Best Books of 2020.
