Homeland Elegies by Ayad Akhtar

What a ride. I had absolutely no idea where this book would go. I am so glad he is an American too. His ideas, stories and criticisms are honestly a justification for why I will stay in this country. I do not want everyone to be the same. I want people to be honest about their challenges and biases and be open to exploring them so they and others can grow. I am not a perfect American but I am going to keep trying to be a better human and part of that is understanding what makes me different from others and not allowing that to eliminate all the other areas where we are similar. Lots to think about here.
