Rain Taxi review of “The Immigrant’s Refrigerator”

By e g

My thanks to the very kind George Longenecker for his review of The Immigrant’s Refrigerator (GenPop Books 2018) in the current issue of In Rain Taxi.

George writes:

This is not the first time there has been racist, nativist backlash in this country and throughout the world, yet the U.S. remains a nation of immigrants, a place of refuge where people bring their children, languages, culture, and food. By personalizing immigrants through skillful storytelling, Georgiou shows that we can replace hostility with empathy.

NEW BOOK FOR 2018!

The Immigrant's Refrigerator
Fiction. Short Stories.
GenPop Books, 2018

If luck is on an author’s side, a book reaches its audience at the right time. Elena Georgiou’s The Immigrant’s Refrigerator can confidently make this claim. Populated with a cast of characters that shine the light on what it means to be an outsider in the early part of the 21st century, this story collection takes its reader into the private lives of those who have entered a country legally, others who were forced to enter illegally, and the rest who call a country home as a result of birth; characters searching for what they need to sustain them on their journeys towards a future that will not only be a place of refuge, but also one of hope.
