These aspects of exile, which have made it so often a stimulus to writers and artists, are explored here in a fascinating variety of contexts and perspectives, and the collection as a whole maintains a nice balance between personal witness and objective scholarship.”—David Lodge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \/ Susan Rubin Suleiman 1\u003cbr\u003e Signposts \u003cbr\u003e Exsul \/ Christine Brooke-Rose 9\u003cbr\u003e Exile as Romance and as Tragedy \/ Thomas Pavel 25\u003cbr\u003e Art and the Conditions of Exile: Men\/Women, Emigration\/Expatriation \/ Linda Nochlin 37\u003cbr\u003e \"Mamae, disse ele,\" or, Joyce's Second Hand \/ Helene Cixous 59\u003cbr\u003e Letter from Paris (Foreign Mail) \/ Denis Hollier 89\u003cbr\u003e Travelers \u003cbr\u003e At Home Abroad: El Inca Shuttles with Hebreo \/ Doris Sommer 109\u003cbr\u003e Gombrowicz's Tango: An Argentine Snapshot \/ Alicia Borinsky 143\u003cbr\u003e Surrealists in Exile: Another Kind of Resistance \/ Jacqueline Chenieux-Gendron 163\u003cbr\u003e Jean Renoir's Return to France \/ Janet Bergstrom 180\u003cbr\u003e A Master of Amazement: Armando's Self-Chosen Exile \/ Ernst Van Alphen 220\u003cbr\u003e Outsiders \u003cbr\u003e Estrangement as a Lifestyle: Shklovsky and Brodsky \/ Svetlana Boym 242\u003cbr\u003e Bakhtin versus Lukacs: Inscriptions of Homelessness in Theories of the Novel \/ John Neubauer 263\u003cbr\u003e Romain Gary: A Foreign Body in French Literature \/ Nancy Huston 281\u003cbr\u003e The Welcome Table: James Baldwin in Exile \/ Henry Louis Gates Jr. 305\u003cbr\u003e Assimilation into Exile: The Jew as a Polish Writer \/ Zygmunt Bauman 321\u003cbr\u003e Strangerhood without Boundaries: An Essay in the Sociology of Knowledge \/ Tibor Dessewffy 353\u003cbr\u003e Backward Glances \u003cbr\u003e Persistent Memory: Central European Refugees in an Andean Land \/ Leo Spitzer 373\u003cbr\u003e Monuments in a Foreign Tongue: On Reading Holocaust Memoirs by Emigrants \/ Susan Rubin Suleiman 397\u003cbr\u003e Past Lives: Postmemories in Exile \/ Marianne Hirsch 418\u003cbr\u003e Contributors 447","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406021828951,"sku":"9780822322153","price":27.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780822322153.jpg?v=1730494272","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/exile-and-creativity-9780822322153","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
