Beskrivelse af Short, Vigorous Roots
"This flash fiction anthology examines the experience of being a transplant in a foreign land, giving a glimpse into the immense loss of oneself in juxtaposition to the strange beauty of rediscovery. The collection looks critically at what it means to forsake tongues, traditions, and comforts in the hope of starting a new life in another world. By exploring a diverse map of migrant experiences, these stories push readers to expand their understanding of the world as it exists beyond their own front doors. This collection contains forty affecting works written by several multigenerational immigrant authors from countries around the world, including Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil, China, Cuba, England, Finland, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Lebanon, Mexico, Moldavia, Morocco, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Sicily, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, the United States, and Vietnam. Regardless of their origin, all share the experience of putting down roots in new soil. Each story examines how adapting to new lives and lands impacts the author's understanding of themselves and their community. At a thousand words or fewer, every vignette redefines resilience and the meaning of home; the intensity of each is captivating from the very first line"--
