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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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":"Ayad Akhtar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43173943476467,"sku":"9781472276896","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781472276896.jpg?v=1662061607","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/homeland-elegies-ayad-akhtar-9781472276896","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
