“On Belonging and Not Belonging” provides a sophisticated exploration of how themes of translation, migration, and displacement shape an astonishing range of artistic works.
From the possibilities and limitations of translation addressed by Jhumpa Lahiri and David Malouf to the effects of shifting borders in the writings of Eugenio Montale, W. G. Sebald, Colm Tóibín, and many others, esteemed literary critic Mary Jacobus looks at the ways novelists, poets, photographers, and filmmakers revise narratives of language, identity, and exile.
