- Summary
- "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.
