Krátky popis
A novel that offers a timely and important viewpoint on the
immigration experience about the need for resistance to blind
assimilation in a host country. In 1968, in search of a better
world, a young person flees her country and ends up in Switzerland,
the land of hard cheese. There she’s told not to talk nonsense, or
not to “talk cheese,” as they say in the local dialect.Home is
where you can grumble, but here you have to be grateful. Her new
environs seem unwieldy, aloof, and she rebels against this host
country that insists on her following its rules, that won’t let her
be herself. But as an interpreter, she meets many others who have
ended up here—petty criminals, depressives, hustlers, refugees,
victims of exploitation, and others who have gone out of their way
to assimilate, people who share a hope that they can make something
new of their lives.Gradually she learns to experience the richness
of exile and foreignness, to build bridges between cultures. A
brilliantly written novel about the search for identity between
assimilation and resistance, Irena Brežná’s The Thankless Foreigner
is a significant addition to the important literature of immigrant
experience. &,nbsp,
