Part family drama, part social essay, part picaresque adventure, Homeland Elegies blends fact and fiction to tell an epic story of belonging and dispossession.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ayad Akhtar (Disgraced, American Dervish) forges a new narrative voice in Homeland Elegies to capture a country in which debt has ruined countless lives and ideals have been sacrificed to the gods of finance, where a TV personality is president and immigrants live in fear, and where the nation's unhealed wounds of 9/11 wreak havoc around the world.

"Akhtar deftly weaves politics, family, friendship, capitalism, work and the eternal existential crisis of being American into a tapestry of form that includes essay, lyric passages and dialogue in its pattern (which, like America, is somewhat chaotic)." -- San Francisco Chronicle
