Summary:
"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, partpicaresque novel, at its heart it is the story of a father, a son, and the country they both call home"-- Provided by publisher.
