„Homeland Elegies“ is a very unique novel about an American boy and his immigrant father who live in post-9/11 world. Iyad Ahktar takes a look at the current state of the United States, where a TV celebrity became president, and immigrants live in fear of deportation. And even though many were born in the US and consider themselves Americans, they are still seen as foreigners.
