| Abstract | "Winner of the 2020 Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing, Ethiopian American author Meron Hadero's gorgeously wrought collection of stories offers sharp and humane portraits of those whose lives have been marked by border crossings and the risk of displacement. Set across the U.S. and abroad, Meron Hadero's stories feature characters who are immigrants, refugees, and those facing dislocation, all struggling to begin again, all fighting to belong. Moving through diverse geographies and styles, these captivating narratives follow characters on the journey toward home, which they dream of, create and redefine, lose and find and make their own. Beyond migration, these stories examine themes of race, gender, class, friendship and betrayal, the despair of loss and the enduring resilience of hope"-- Provided by publisher. |
