"Pondering revolutionary Cuba, the Berlin Wall, and the caves of Cappadocia,
these essays explore themes of memory, war, movement, and home."-The New Yorker
"A thoughtful, roving meditation on migration, language, and home."-Publishers
Weekly
In her prize-winning debut, Mexican essayist Mariana Oliver trains her gaze on
migration in its many forms, moving between real cities and other more
inaccessible territories: language, memory, pain, desire, and the body. With an
abiding curiosity and poetic ease, Oliver leads us through the underground city
of Cappadocia, explores the vicissitudes of a Berlin marked by historical
fracture, recalls a shocking childhood exodus, and recreates the intimacy of the
spaces we inhabit. Blending criticism, reportage, and a travel writing all her
own, Oliver presents a brilliant collection of essays that asks us what it means
to leave the familiar behind and make the unfamiliar our own.
