A NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST AND ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR'I read it in a fever, swept up in the kind of rapture you fall into when your most audacious friend kicks off on a hilarious, outrageous, but deeply sincere rant' Torrey Peters, Guardian Books of the Summer'A beautiful novel about an American son and his immigrant father that has echoes of THE GREAT GATSBY' New York TimesA deeply personal novel of identity and belonging in a nation coming apart at the seams, HOMELAND ELEGIES blends fact and fiction to tell an epic story of belonging and dispossession in the world that 9/11 made. Part family drama, part satire, part picaresque, at its heart it is the story of a father and son, and the country they call home.Ranging from the heartland towns of America to palatial suites in Europe to guerrilla lookouts in the mountains of Afghanistan, Akhtar forges a narrative voice that is original as it is exuberantly entertaining. This is a world in which debt has ruined countless lives and the gods of finance rule, where immigrants live in fear and the unhealed wounds of 9/11 continue to wreak havoc. HOMELAND ELEGIES is a novel written in love and anger, which spares no one, least of all the author himself.

A fast-paced economic thriller that probes the financial deal making behind the mergers and acquisitions boom of the 1980sThe Deal. The Board Room. The Takeover. This is the battleground where titanic egos collide, where modern day kings are made and unmade. It's a world where debt is an asset and assets are excuses for more debt, a world where finance runs the show. An upstart genius hell-bent on rocketing to the top, Robert Merkin has established himself as the most successful junk bond trader in the business. His next move-the take-over of a venerable multinational steel corporation-may signal the end of his reign as the king of finance. But how can he lose at a game when he's the only one making the rules?With JUNK, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ayad Akhtar takes us back to the hotbed of the '80s, offering us an origin story for the cutthroat world that finance has shaped and a dark, provocative take on the joys and sorrows of capitalist society.

A NEW YORK TIMES NOVEL EVERYONE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IN 2026 • A TIME MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2026‘Simply put, a work of genius.’ Abraham Verghese, author of The Covenant of WaterA mysterious accident along a country road sparks an awakening and an investigation in Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright and acclaimed novelist Ayad Akhtar’s most daring work yet—a visionary novel of spiritual transformation in an age of fracture— ‘bordering at times on the ineffable’ (Mary Gaitskill).When a hit-and-run shatters more than his body, a writer is caught between revelation and madness as an uncanny pull toward a brilliant campus colleague ensnares him in a scandal that threatens to destroy them both. What begins as a provocative portrait of academic and cultural warfare deepens into erotic entanglement, the exposure of a family secret, and the mystery surrounding the narrator’s accident—both the violence and its aftermath.Moving between rural America and Europe, Islam and Christianity, the intimate and the metaphysical, The Radiance is of our American moment and beyond it—asking not only what has broken, but what radiance remains.

From Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright and acclaimed novelist Ayad Akhtar, a visionary novel of spiritual transformation in an age of fracture – ‘bordering at times on the ineffable’ (Mary Gaitskill).A writer escapes the city to live by a pond in a small rural enclave, like a latter-day Thoreau. After a near-fatal hit-and-run, something spiritual inside him awakens. Caught between revelation and madness, an uncanny pull toward a brilliant colleague ensnares him in a scandal that threatens to destroy them both.The Radiance is a campus novel, a mystery, an erotic entanglement and an inquiry into what the soul contains – rendered without irony and without piety. Moving between rural America and Europe, Islam and Christianity, the intimate and the metaphysical, it asks not only what has broken, but what radiance remains.

"Genau der Schriftsteller, den wir brauchen." Daniel Kehlmann"Leidenschaftlich, verstörend, fesselnd." Salman RushdieAyad Akthars "Homeland Elegien" ist ein intelligenter Roman über den zerrütteten Zustand des heutigen Amerikas. Über ein Amerika, in dem die Ideale der amerikanischen Demokratie den Göttern der Finanzindustrie geopfert wurden und eine TV-Persönlichkeit Präsident werden konnte.Es ist ein persönliches Memoir über die Erfahrungen von im Westen lebenden Muslimen, insbesondere nach 9/11, und eine Reflexion über die Möglichkeit einer westlichen muslimischen Identität.Es ist eine manchmal komische, manchmal bewegende, manchmal konfliktreiche Einwandererfamiliengeschichte und die intellektuelle Biografie eines künstlerischen Ausnahmetalents.Und nicht zuletzt erzählt der Roman mit großem Esprit und aus ungewohnter Perspektive globale Zeitgeschichte, vom Konflikt zwischen Pakistan und Indien über den ersten Afghanistan Krieg bis hin zu Osama bin Laden und dem islamistischen Terror der jüngsten Gegenwart.

En usko, että olimme valmistautuneet onnelliseen elämään. Me toki kaipasimme onnea, mutta emme odottaneet sitä. Se oli meidän kulttuurimme käsikirjoitus.Kymmenvuotias Hayat Shah elää tavallista arkea amerikkalaisessa lähiössä pakistanilaistaustaisen perheensä kanssa. Eräänä päivänä äidin paras ystävä, järjestetystä avioliitosta eronnut Mina Ali, muuttaa heidän kotiinsa, ja Hayatin koko maailma muuttuu. Lumoavan kaunis ja hartaan uskovainen Mina tutustuttaa Hayatin Koraanin vietteleviin säkeisiin, ja hänestä tulee pojalle pian kaikki kaikessa.Kun länsimaisista vapauksista rohkaistunut Mina rakastuu juutalaiseen Nathaniin, Hayatin mustasukkaisuus kätkeytyy uskonnollisen fundamentalismin kaapuun kohtalokkain seurauksin.Nuoren muslimipojan kasvutarina on elämänmakuinen kuvaus islamilaisen ja länsimaisen kulttuurin törmäyksestä, uskosta, identiteetistä ja rakkauden voimasta.Tämä sähkökirja toimii ePub-formaattia tukevilla lukuohjelmilla.
