Come From is a novel about a village where only thirteen people remain  a country that no
longer exists  a shattered family that is his own. Blending autofiction  fable  and

European today  he examines how it feels to learn a new language  to find new friends and new
jobs  and to build an identity between countries and cultures. Translated by Damion Searls 
Where You Come From is about homelands  both remembered and imagined. A book that bends form

all of us: about language and shame  about arrival and making it just in time  about luck and
death  about what role our origins and memories play in our lives.   'Wonderfully inventive and
impressive.' - Guardian
