Six months later, the boy's father joins them, bringing a brown suitcase, insomnia, and a scar on his thigh. Sasa Stanisic's \u003ci\u003eWhere You Come From\u003c\/i\u003e is a novel about this family, whose world is uprooted and remade by war: their history, their life before the conflict, and the years that followed their escape as they created a new life in a new country. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBlending autofiction, fable, and choose-your-own-adventure, \u003ci\u003eWhere You Come From\u003c\/i\u003e is set in a village where only thirteen people remain, in lost and made-up memories, in coincidences, in choices, and in a dragons' den. Translated by Damion Searls, it's a novel about homelands, both remembered and imagined, lost and found. A book that playfully twists form and genre with wit and heart to explore questions that lie inside all of us: about language and shame, about arrival and making it just in time, about luck and death, about what role our origins and memories play in our lives.","brand":"Tin House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48175215673533,"sku":"BS-TC0-142759","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9781951142759-HD.jpg?v=1787139997","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/where-you-come-from","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
