Writing Outside the Nation by Azade Seyhan

Examines the works of selected bilingual and bicultural writers of the United States (including Oscar Hijuelos, Maxine Hong Kingston, and Eva Hoffman) and Germany (Libuse Monikova, Rafik Schami, and E S Ozdamar, among others), developing a framework for understanding the relationship between displacement, memory, and language.
"Azade Seyhan's innovative analysis of diasporic and transnational writing will certainly instigate re-interpretations of literary texts beyond the scope of her own study[T]he achievement and importance of Seyhan's Writing Outside the Nation are unmistakable."--Gerd Bayer, German Studies Reviews
Azade Seyhan is the Fairbank Professor in the Humanities and Professor of German and Comparative Literature at Bryn Mawr College. She is author of Representation and Its Discontents: The Critical Legacy of German Romanticism.
