Reviews

Part fiction, part memoir, and all brilliant * Ron Charles * This is the book of the year * Oprah Magazine * The challenge of remembering one's identity in a racist culture is at the heart of Akhtar's remarkable new book, HOMELAND ELEGIES...It would not surprise me if it wins him a second Pulitzer Prize * Washington Post * Provocative and urgent... a revelation * Publishers Weekly * The astonishing work of an absolutely brilliant writer. With exquisite prose and lacerating honesty, Ayad Akhtar reveals the intersections of art, finance, race, religion, academia and empire * Philip Klay * A triumph. Akhtar rages, he sings, he indicts, he falls in love, he sorrows, he dreams, he mourns, he transcribes! - and finally he transmutes injustice into the sublimest art * Joshua Ferris * A passionate, wrenching portrayal of Americans exiled into otherness by a post 9/11 world * Jennifer Egan * Ayad Akhtar offers up his heart and life with an honesty that astonishes. Never have I experienced such a reading thrill * Maria Semple * An urgent, intimate hybrid of memoir and fiction, HOMELAND ELEGIES thrusts us into the heart of a father-son relationship and in the process - improbably - does nothing short of laying bear the broken heart of our American dream turned reality TV nightmare... Stunning * A M Homes *
