Pulitzer-Prize-Winning Playwright, Novelist and Screenwriter

Homeland Elegies

Pulitzer-Prize-winning playwright, novelist and screenwriter Ayad Akhtar will discuss his work Homeland Elegies which tells the story of longing and dispossession in the world that 9/11 made—of an immigrant father, an American son, and the country they both call home. A deeply personal work about identity and belonging in a nation coming apart at the seams, Homeland Elegies is part family drama, part social essay, part picaresque novel.
