SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"We live in an age of migration and more and more authors have migrant backgrounds. Migration and Literature offers a thorough and thought-provoking examination of the thematic and formal role of migration in four contemporary and canonized novelists: Gunter Grass, Milan Kundera, Salman Rushdie, and Jan Kjaerstad. This book examines how these novelists reflect, problematize, and "resolve" the problems set by the migratory world and analyzes how the novels employ discursive strategies which emphasize their migratory and homeless form."--Jacket.
