Coetzee, Ali Smith, Aminatta Forna, and Anthony Marra among others for her rich and nuanced depictions of Islamic spiritual and political life. Her latest collection, Elsewhere, Home, draws us ineluctably into the lives of immigrants at home and abroad as they forge new identities and reshape old ones. A young woman's encounter with a former classmate elicits painful reminders of her former life in Khartoum. A wealthy young Sudanese woman studying in Aberdeen begins an unlikely friendship with one of her Scottish classmates. A woman experiences an evolving relationship to her favorite writer, whose portrait of their shared culture both reflects and conflicts with her own sense of identity. Shuttling between the dusty, sun-baked streets of Khartoum and the university halls and cramped apartments of Aberdeen and London, Elsewhere, Home explores, with subtlety and restraint, the profound feelings of yearning, loss, and alienation that come with leaving one's homeland in pursuit of a different life" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Immigrants $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Short stories, English. 650 4 $a FICTION / Short Stories (single author). 650 7 $a Immigrants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967712 650 7 $a Short stories, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117174 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 776 08 $i Online version: $a Aboulela, Leila, 1964- author. $t Elsewhere, home $b First American paperback edition. $d New York, NY : Black Cat, an imprint of Grove Atlantic, 2019 $z 9780802146946 $w (DLC) 2018049869 941 $a 3 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20191119030234.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502024859.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190309010044.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8F3F8EEA2B6F11E9880A834297128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
