Publisher’s Synopsis (M&S ,1999)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

[This is] a remarkable novel of personal and political awakening that spans three decades and explores the eternal quest for home. It is a quintessentially North American novel, told from the point of view of a man from Dar es Salaam, East Africa.
In 1968, Ramji, a student, arrives in an America far different from the one he dreamed about, one caught up in anti-war demonstrations, revolutionary lifestyles, and spiritual quests. As he gradually grows apart from his community of foreign students, Ramji finds himself pulled by the tumultuous currents of the times \u2026 . Much later, with his marriage faltering, and living a suburban life in a changed America, he meets a young woman from Zanzibar, and feels that a different, more authentic life is possible — until a mysterious visitor from Ramji’s past arrives in their midst.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

M.G. Vassanji\u2019s magnificent new novel provides further proof of his unique, wide ranging and profound genius. The Assassin\u2019s Song<\/em> is a shining study of the conflict between ancient loyalties and modern desires, a conflict that creates turmoil the world over \u2013 and it is at once an intimate portrait of one man\u2019s painful struggle to hold the earthly and the spiritual in balance. In The Assassin\u2019s Song<\/em>, Karsan Dargawalla tells the story of the medieval Sufi shrine of Pirbaag, and his betrayal of its legacy. But Karsan\u2019s conflicted attempt to settle accounts quickly blossoms into a layered tale that spans centuries: from the mysterious Nur Fazal\u2019s spiritual journeys through thirteenth century India, to his shrine\u2019s eventual destruction in the horrifying “riots” of 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Nurul Islam is a world-renowned physicist, professor at Imperial College, London, and one half of the Islam-Rosenfeld theory, the first step in a grand unification of forces and a Theory of Everything. A family man profoundly influenced by his pious father, Nurul is happily married to Sakina Begum by an arranged marriage. They have three children. But when Nurul travels to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to give a public lecture at Harvard, he falls in love with a graduate student, Hilary Chase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, Nurul Islam\u2019s outspoken, philosophical views about the nature of physics and God have earned him the ire of fundamentalist preachers in Pakistan. He makes enemies of the political and military establishments when he refuses to contribute to Pakistan\u2019s nuclear weapons project. Meanwhile, a contingent of physicists begins a smear campaign, claiming that Nurul Islams\u2019s contribution to the unification theory was plagiarized. All these events converge upon Sakina Begum who, smarting from her husband\u2019s betrayal, unwittingly commits a betrayal of her own. Everything that has worked together as though preordained since his child – hood to take him to the pinnacle of scientific achievement suddenly falls apart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Magic of Saida <\/em>tells the haunting story of Kamal, a successful Canadian doctor who, in middle age and after decades in North America, decides to return to his homeland of East Africa to find his childhood sweetheart, Saida. Kamal’s journey is motivated by a combination of guilt, hope, and the desire to unravel the mysteries of his childhood–mysteries compounded by the fact that Kamal is the son of an absent Indian father from a well-to-do family and a Swahili African mother of slave ancestry. Through a series of flashbacks, we watch Kamal’s early years in the ancient coastal town of Kilwa, where he grows up in a world of poverty but also of poetry, sustained by his friendship with the magical Saida.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Set variously in Kenya, Canada, India, Pakistan, and the American Midwest, these poignant and evocative stories portray migrants negotiating the in-between worlds of east and west, past and present, secular and religious. Richly detailed and full of vivid characters, the stories are worlds unto themselves, just as a dusty African street full of bustling shops is a world, and so is the small matrix of lives enclosed by an intimate Toronto neighbourhood. It is the smells and sentiments and small gestures that constitute life, and of these Vassanji is a master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part travelogue, part memoir, and part history-rarely-told, here is a powerful and timely portrait of a constantly evolving land. From a description of Zanzibar and its evolution to a visit to a slave-market town at Lake Tanganyika; from an encounter with a witchdoctor in an old coastal village to memories of his own childhood in the streets of Dar es Salaam and the suburbs of Nairobi, Vassanji combines brilliant prose, thoughtful and candid observation, and a lifetime of revisiting and reassessing the continent that molded him–and, as we discover when we follow the journeys that became this book, shapes him still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowhere, Exactly: On Identity and Belonging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Toronto: Doubleday Canada, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

M.G. Vassanji has been exploring the immigrant experience for over three decades, drawing deeply on his own transnational upbringing and intimate understanding of the unique challenges and perspectives born from leaving one’s home to resettle in a new land. The question of identity, of how to configure and see oneself within this new land, is one such challenge faced. But Vassanji suggests that a more fundamental and slippery endeavour than establishing one’s identity is how, if ever, we can establish a sense of belonging. Can we ever truly belong in this new home? Did we ever truly belong in the home we left? Where exactly do we belong? For many, the answer is nowhere exactly.\u00a0
