tlaloq 's review for:
Homeland Elegies
by Ayad Akhtar
When some authors are trying to make points about issues, they do so in such a way that seems pedantic, especially when the point takes a great deal of background to set up. From my point of view, Akhtar avoids that weakness by having his themes and narrative be character driven, whether the character be the protagonist, a featured support character, or even a less central supporting character. I learned a great deal about a number of things about which I was ignorant, but I never felt "preached at."
Although the themes around issues are important, everyday familial relationships, friendships, and and the sense of belonging growing out of a shared cultural experience also seem important to the narrator.
Highly recommended.
