The University of Chicago Press
The Writer as MigrantAuthor(s): Ha Jin\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: The University of Chicago Press, United States\nImprint: University of Chicago Press\nISBN-13: 9780226833835, 978-0226833835\nSynopsis\nNational Book Award winner Ha Jin raises questions about language, migration, and the place of literature in a rapidly globalizing world.\n\n Consisting of three interconnected essays, The Writer as Migrant sets Ha Jins own work and life alongside those of other literary exiles, creating a conversation across cultures and between eras. He employs the cases of Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Chinese novelist Lin Yutang to illustrate the obligation a writer feels to the land of their birth, while Joseph Conrad and Vladimir Nabokovwho, like Ha Jin, adopted English for their writingare enlisted to explore a migrant authors conscious choice of a literary language. A final essay draws on [url] Naipaul and Milan Kundera to consider the ways in which our era of perpetual change forces a migrant.
