About this book

Ha Jin's journey from an uneducated soldier in the People's Liberation Army in China to a resident of the United States raises questions about language, migration, and the place of literature in a globalizing world. This book looks at these questions and sets Ha Jin's own work and life alongside those of other literary exiles.
