Description

Reading sample:

"The world of an exile is a strange world. At first he thinks it's just him and his backpack. Four shirts, two pairs of socks, a suit, two pairs of underpants, a towel, an electric razor. Then comes the search for a place to live. Then a room, a small table, a lamp, a pen, a notebook. Some books. Half in English, half in your native language. But then, very slowly, it starts. You realize that despite your smallness, you carry a big story within you. One memory chases the other. Suddenly you realize that this existence sitting here is an empty vessel and that everything that makes you lives somewhere else.”
