"Imagine our joy when Vintage announced that it is publishing a collection of easily digestible books from the world?s most celebrated writers on the experiences that make us human? They look good and read well. That?s win/win in our book." (Stylist)

Salman Rushdie, a self-described ?emigrant from one place and a newcomer in two?, explores the true meaning of home. Writing with insight, passion and humour, he looks at what it means to belong, whether roots are real and homelands imaginary, what it is like to reconfigure your past from fragments of memory and what happens when East meets West.
