Out of Place by Edward Said

A story of displacement and exile, a narrative of departures, and a celebration of identity as something multiple, and fluid. It brings together the two disparate halves of Said's experience as an American and as an Arab.
Edward. W. Said was University Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. He is the author of seventeen books, including Orientalism, which was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award, Culture and Imperialism, and Beginnings. He lived in New York and dies in September 2003.
