About Maija Mäkinen’s The Ghosts of Other Immigrants!
“Funny, bittersweet, and filled with many kinds of longing, these stories show that though we are often defined by relationships to both people and places, we are also capable of defining ourselves on our own terms and that home follows us like a ghost wherever we go.
A subtle and compelling collection with superb prose.” —Kirkus Reviews
Hanna Pylväinen is the author of WE SINNERS and THE END OF DRUM-TIME and is a Whiting Award winner and a NYPL Cullman Fellow."
