Hardback. Condition: Good. ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES 10 BEST BOKS OF THE YEAR ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOKS OF 2020 A Best Book of 2020 * Entertainment Weekly * Washington Post * O Magazine * New York Times Book Review * Publishers Weekly * NPR * The Economist * Shelf Awareness * Library Journal * St. Louis Post-Dispatch * Slate Finalist for the 2021 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction This beautiful novel . . . has echoes of The Great Gatsby: an immigrant father and his son search for belonging--in post-Trump America, and with each other (Dwight Garner, New York Times). A deeply personal work about identity and belonging in a nation coming apart at the seams, Homeland Elegies blends fact and fiction to tell an epic story of longing and dispossession in the world that 9/11 made. Part family drama, part social essay, part picaresque novel, at its heart it is the story of a father, a son, and the country they both call home. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ayad Akhtar forges a new narrative voice to capture a country in which debt has ruined countless lives and the gods of finance rule, where immigrants live in fear, and where the nation's unhealed wounds wreak havoc around the world. Akhtar attempts to make sense of it all through the lens of a story about one family, from a heartland town in America to palatial suites in Central Europe to guerrilla lookouts in the mountains of Afghanistan, and spares no one -- least of all himself -- in the process. Passionate, disturbing, unputdownable. --Salman Rushdie.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. From Pulitzer Prize winner Ayad Akhtar, a stirring and explosive debut novel about an American Muslim family in Wisconsin struggling with faith and belonging in the pre-9/11 world. Hayat Shah is a young American in love for the first time. His normal life of school, baseball, and video games had previously been distinguished only by his Pakistani heritage and by the frequent chill between his parents, who fight over things he is too young to understand. Then Mina arrives, and everything changes. American Dervish is a brilliantly written, nuanced, and emotionally forceful look inside the interplay of religion and modern life. …

Paperback. Condition: Fair. From the Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama and author of Homeland Elegies, a play about identity in America after September 11th. Amir is a successful Pakistani-American lawyer living in New York with his white artist wife, Emily. Although he's distanced himself from his Muslim heritage, his past and identity become increasingly difficult to escape. When he and Emily host a dinner with friends from different cultural and religious backgrounds, a seemingly intellectual conversation about Islam and American society grows increasingly tense. The play explores identity, religion, racism, assimilation, and prejudice, showing how quickly hidden beliefs and personal resentments can surface. As the characters confront uncomfortable truths about themselves and one another, Amir's carefully constructed life begins to fall apart, forcing him to question where he belongs and how much of his identity he has sacrificed to fit into American society. "Everyone has been told that politics and religion are two subjects that should be off-limits at social gatherings. But watching these characters rip into these forbidden topics, there's no arguing that they make for ear-tickling good theater." --New York Times &nbsp.…
