A New York Times Book of the Year Chosen by Barack Obama as one of his books of the year Meet Kailash. Also known as Kalashnikov. Or AK-47. Or just plain AK. His journey from India has taken him to graduate school in New York where he keeps falling in love: not just with women, but with literature and radical politics, the fuel of youthful exuberance. Each heady affair brings new learning: about himself, and about his relationship to a country founded on immigration – a country that is now unsure of the migrant’s place in the nation’s fabric. But how can AK learn to belong when he’s in a constant state of exile

Great book. A year-end New York Times best seller Barack Obama selected it as one of his favourite books of the year. I'm Kailash. known also as Kalashnikov. Or AK-47. Or simply just AK. From India, he travelled to New York for graduate school, where he continues to fall in love—not just with women, but also with literature and radical politics, the sources of his adolescent ardour. Each intoxicating encounter teaches him something new about himself and his relationship to a nation built on immigration, a nation that is now unsure of the migrant's place in the fabric of the country. But how can AK learn to fit in if he's constantly on the run?
