内容摘要 书名:Homeland Elegies 故乡挽歌 奥巴马2020年度读书单图书 普利策奖作者 作者:Ayad Akhtar 出版社名称:Tinder Press 出版时间:2021 语种:英语 ISBN:9781472276896 商品尺寸:12.8 x 3.2 x 19.6 cm 包装:平装 页数:368(以实物为准) An urgent, intimate hybrid of memoir and fiction, HOMELAND ELEGIES thrusts us into the heart of a father-son relationship and in the process - improbably - does nothing short of laying bear the broken heart of our American dream turned reality TV nightmare... Stunning ― A M Homes A beautiful novel about an American son and his immigrant father that has echoes of The Great Gatsby ― New York Times Ayad Akhtar offers up his heart and life with an honesty that astonishes. Never have I experienced such a reading thrill ― Maria Semple Perhaps the best American novel I have read in several years -- Richard Flanagan A passionate, wrenching portrayal of Americans exiled into otherness by a post 9/11 world ― Jennifer Egan A deeply personal novel of identity and belonging in a nation coming apart at the seams, HOMELAND ELEGIES blends fact and fiction to tell an epic story of belonging and dispossession in the world that 9/11 made. Part family drama, part satire, part picaresque, at its heart it is the story of a father and son, and the country they call home. Ranging from the heartland towns of America to palatial suites in Europe to guerrilla lookouts in the mountains of Afghanistan, Akhtar forges a narrative voice that is original as it is exuberantly entertaining. This is a world in which debt has ruined countless lives and the gods of finance rule, where immigrants live in fear and the unhealed wounds of 9/11 continue to wreak havoc. HOMELAND ELEGIES is a novel written in love and anger, which spares no one, least of all the author himself. Ayad Akhtar is a playwright, novelist, the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He is the author of AMERICAN DERVISH, published in over 20 languages and named a Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2012. His plays include Disgraced (Lincoln Center, Broadway; Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Tony nomination) and The Invisible Hand (NYTW; Obie Award, Outer Critics Circle John Gassner Award, Olivier, and Evening Standard nominations). As a screenwriter, he was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Screenplay for The War Within. 1234567
