Book Synopsis
Carlos Rojas focuses on the trope of “homesickness” in China—discomfort caused not by a longing for home but by excessive proximity to it. This inverse homesickness marks a process of movement away from the home, conceived of as spaces associated with the nation, family, and individual body, and gives rise to the possibility of long-term health.

Trade Review
Both in scope and in its grounding of modern Chinese literature and culture in the intersection of literature, nation, and medicine, Homesickness is of great importance. -- Xiaojue Wang, University of Pennsylvania
