"This is a fearless, exacting, essential work, and marks the debut of a thrilling new global voice."-Peter Ho Davies, author of The Welsh Girl. On a year-long exchange program in rural Oregon, sixteen-year-old Hira must swap Kashmiri chai for volleyball practice and understand why everyone around her seems to dislike Obama. A skeptically witty narrator, Hira finds herself stuck between worlds. The experience is memorable for reasons both good and bad; a first kiss, new friends, racism, Islamophobia, homesickness. Along the way Hira starts to feel increasingly unwell until she begins coughing up blood, and receives a diagnosis of tuberculosis, pushing her into quarantine and turning her newly established home away from home upside down. American Fever is a compelling and laugh-out-loud funny novel about adolescence, family, otherness, religion, the push-and-pull of home. It marks the entrance on the international literary scene of the brilliant fresh voice of Dur e Aziz Amna"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Muslim teenagers $z Oregon $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $z Oregon $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Pakistanis $z United States $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Foreign study $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Tuberculosis $x Fiction. $x Fiction. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Aziz Amna, Dur E. $t American fever $d New York : Arcade Publishing, [2022] $z 9781950994502 $w (DLC) 2022019746 941 $a 13 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417025514.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231031010505.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025058.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230606011014.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20230526010702.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20230427010702.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20230407010348.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20230214011529.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203020110.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20230104013759.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20221004020309.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220909011520.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220826010053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6785EEF2250411ED9371F9C93BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
