Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thresholds 13: Fall 1996
Through these eleven explorations, we want to introduce another place - the place created between the desired destination and the point of origin; that is, the mental space constructed from personal history and the physicality that surrounds one. This act of displacement is a challenge to identity, so that identity of the travelling self must be reconstituted each time it sets out to a new environment. The essential privilege of the exile is to have, not just one set of eyes but half a dozen, each of them corresponding to the places you have been There is always a kind of doubleness to that experience, and the more places you have been the more displacements you've gone through, as every exile does. As every situation is a new one, you start out each day anew. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
