This week we discuss the different views toward immigration in Signs Preceding the End of the World by Yuri Herrera, Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald and The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka.  Is it possible to create a new home in a new country?  Do these novels reveal any shift in attitude toward immigration in America?  Can James ever stop talking about Amy Tan? Join us as we wrap up our series on immigrant literature.

Next week we will begin our series on Contemporary Nigerian Fiction with The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi.
