Overview
"I often think about the implications of the word "home." As a child of immigrants, migration and displacement have shaped how I define the concept of home my whole life. As I was writing these stories, I realized that in the past I avoided writing settings because I don't feel a connection to any one place. The characters in these stories occupy places, because place is undoubtedly still important, but they also navigate relationships and loss. They try to understand why they go through the things they go through and, in the process, find home in each other. It was important for me to write stories about Sudanese and Sudanese-American characters, not only to write what I know but to introduce readers to Sudan. These stories, some of which take place in Sudan and others in America, borrow from both the Western literary tradition and Sudanese oral storytelling history." -- Abstract
