Book Synopsis

Wrongland balances on an edge of migration and return. It crosses from an Albania recently rid of Hoxha to a Greece riven by tensions that ultimately drive the protagonist on to America. But homecoming is the pivot -- one stuck in an unavoidable vying between alternate worlds.

The reader, a simple stranger, is introduced to Ters, a city configured by remnants from the past, a locale scored by evil -- at times, gripped by good.

Review Quotes

An extraordinary novel on the destiny of the exiled. --Diego Zandel, Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso

--Diego Zandel

Kapllani exposes the rationale of those who leave their country as migrants and of the others who choose to remain. He does it in such a powerful way that the reader remains suspended, unable to take sides. -- Jean-Claude Champseix, En attendant Nadeau

--Jean-Claude Champseix

Wrongland speaks of returns: like Odysseus who was trying to get to Ithaca, the return is an adventure, another journey. -- Sole 24ore
