{"product_id":"where-you-come-from-9781951142759","title":"Where You Come from","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn August, 1992, a boy and his mother flee the war in Yugoslavia and arrive in Germany. Six months later, the boy's father joins them, bringing a brown suitcase, insomnia, and a scar on his thigh. Sasa Stanisic's \u003cem\u003eWhere You Come From\u003c\/em\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlending autofiction, fable, and choose-your-own-adventure, \u003cem\u003eWhere You Come From\u003c\/em\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tin House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951142759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Book Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sasa Stanisic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52122378207413,"sku":"9781951142759","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0f3853c9-5f62-466b-a664-9efd2fb985c7.jpg?v=1766512794","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/where-you-come-from-9781951142759","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
