Can the humble homing pigeon teach us something about what it means to return home, to be at home? Do the stories we tell and read about home influence our understanding of homes, homecomings, homelands? Do our experience and memory of homelessness, exile, and return have something to do with how we relate to the animal world as such? And could dwelling perhaps be the preferable alternative to thinking about and longing for home? I discuss all this and more with the author of a remarkable and charming book on pigeons, what home means to them, what home means to us.
