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.
