(Memoir, 280 pp. 1989)
When her family relocated from Krakow to Canada during her adolescence in the 1950s, Eva Hoffman lost the place, people, and language that were central to her identity. This penetrating memoir recalls Hoffman’s difficult adjustment to her new life as an outsider in North America, focusing on the role of language in mediating her experience.
