The Alexandria You Are Losing and Other Stories explores universal themes of dislocation and uprooting; American and Arab characters yearning for a home they have forsaken, or for a more palpable sense of identity and belonging.
The stories also illuminate the common threads that connect us as human beings, the bridges we form one to the other despite conflict and misperceptions.
We see an American experience, whether one is a recent immigrant or not, infused with migration, transience and displacement.
The stories in this collection capture in a genuinely universal manner that sense of not belonging, of being un-housed in some way, and searching for a place in the world.
