Vassanji, two-time Giller Prize winner and winner of the Governor General's Literary Award, comes a finely crafted collection of short fiction that explores the tensions between remembering past homes and belonging in new ones. Weaving between wistful memories of youthful ambition and the compromises and comforts of age, travelling between the streets of Dar es Salaam and Toronto, the characters in these stories must negotiate distance--between here and there; between lives imagined and lives lived; between expectation and disappointment; between inclusion and exclusion. Throughout, Vassanji engages passionately with the intellectual and political questions that inspire him as a writer and a citizen, while always matching the energy of his ideas with the empathy and emotional depth he invests in his characters. As with all Vassanji's finest work, What You Are stands as a model of artistic integrity and clarity of vision."-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Short stories. 505 0 $t An American family. $t My brilliant daughter -- $t An African problem -- $t Tova in Tel-Aviv [you would look away] -- $t How to live longer -- $t The end of the world -- $t The sense of an ending -- $t What you are -- $t Speak sweet words, softly -- $t The king of cotton -- $t The way stop -- $t A shooting in Don Mills -- $t Memories -- $t An epiphany -- $t An American family. 650 0 $a Belonging (Social psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ethnicity $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Short stories, Canadian. 650 7 $a Ethnicity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916034 650 7 $a Belonging (Social psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01764316 650 7 $a Short stories, Canadian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117131 655 7 $a short stories. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300202607 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Nouvelles. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000322 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032754.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=80DC4F8CDDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
