Azis has fled Algeria and arrives in Boston, a stowaway on a huge tanker, as an illegal immigrant. He expects a better life, but soon finds that America holds its own dangers. Disoriented, sick, hampered by a lack of English, unable to find a decent job, Aziz becomes involved in a roommate's thefts of dangerous materials--and falls under suspicion as a terrorist. Moving between Algeria and Boston, and embracing a diverse cast of immigrant characters, HARBOR is a timely look at an aspect of the war on terror that most Americans never see. A New York Times Notable Book for 2004.
