“Being in a foreign country means walking a tightrope high above the ground without the net afforded a person by the country where he has his family, colleagues, and friends, and where he can easily say what he has to say in a language he has known since childhood.”
translated by Michael Henry Heim
I’m reading this book right now, what a coincidence!
Great book. And the film based on it is pretty good, too.
Reblogged this on Leonard Durso.
