The Konkans by Tony D'souza
Francisco D'Sai is the firstborn son of a firstborn son - the latest in a long line of proud Konkans stretching back for centuries. Since he was old enough to hear the tales of his noble forebears, Francisco has known what it meant to be a Konkan in India. But what does it mean to be a Konkan in Illinois?
'Every page yields its pleasures-D'Souza is a natural' Kirkus 'D'Souza follows up the promise of Whiteman (2006) with this moving portrait of a mixed Indian-American family. D'Souza puts a fresh spin on the theme of cultural alienation, and he achieves something even more universal as he shows how the characters are alone together in their family.' Publisher's Weekly
TONY D'SOUZA's fiction has been published in the New Yorker, Playboy, Literary Review, and his first book, Whiteman, was published to great acclaim. He lives in Florida.
