Books Excerpt
Spanning more than 150 years, and set in multiple
locations in colonial and postcolonial Asia and the
United States, Inheritors paints a kaleidoscopic
portrait of its characters as they grapple with the
legacies of loss, imperialism, and war.Written from
myriad perspectives and in a wide range of styles, each
of these interconnected stories is designed to speak
to the others, contesting assumptions and illuminating
the complicated ways we experience, interpret, and
pass on our personal and shared histories. A retired
doctor, for example, is forced to confront the horrific
moral consequences of his wartime actions. An elderly
woman subjects herself to an interview, gradually
revealing a fifty-year old murder and its shattering
aftermath. And in the last days of a doomed war, a
prodigal son who enlisted against his parents' wishes
survives the American invasion of his island outpost,
only to be asked for a sacrifice more daunting than any
he imagined.
