Stories in the stepmother tongue
About this book
"These stories were written in English by writers who emigrated to the United States. Why do these writers choose to express themselves in a language other than their native tongue? There are as many reasons as there are writers. When writing is a major part of life, coming to a new country and learning to write in its language is, for many writers, necessary to feeling at home in the world in which they now live."--BOOK JACKET.
