Set in the towns of the Mojave Desert, the novel is narrated by nine different characters. ![]() The title of Laila Lalami’s fourth novel, “The Other Americans,” perfectly sums up a unified disunity: an America suspicious of its own body politic. ![]() ![]() ![]() And she’d also written in large, scrawly red writing, “Andrew-this poem is so funny.
