Geography/Anthropology A fascinating portrait of the history and landscape of this remote settlement. The village of Djarkhan is in the heart of Russia’s Sakha Republic, on the Central Yakut Plain. The world around Djarkhan, with its extreme subarctic climate and intractable permafrost, seems an unlikely place to look for a rich, historic, and exotic efflorescence of human life, and yet this is precisely what the authors found. Their book is a remarkable account of how the people of Djarkhan have created their own distinctive place through their unique relationship with a severe an

This is the most comprehensive study to date of Amy Tan’s work, offering close readings of her texts in the context of broader debates about the representation of identity, history and reality. In contrast with Tan’s own American-born narrator, and mainstream critics, Bella Adams looks beyond the stereotypes which appear in Tan’s books, and explores the ways in which Chinese immigrants and their American relatives struggle to understand each other’s "best qualities" via the Chinese tradition of the "talk story". She emphasizes Tan’s American narrators’ proc

Can These Bones Live? views translation as a mode of literary invigoration—indeed, as a process at the core of all important cultural transactions—rather than a mere utilitarian means of converting the terms of one language into another. Brodzki considers a wide array of canonical and lesser-known fictional and autobiographical works by authors from North America, Europe, and Africa—including Philip Roth, Italo Calvino, Jorge Semprun, and Buchi Emecheta—that foreground translation as narrative theme, figurative device, and textual strategy. The book emphasizes translation’s criti
