My Name Is Europe

Publisher Intervalles
A poetic and timely reflection on the relationship between one's native and chosen languages.

My Name Is Europe relates the seemingly ordinary life of an immigrant's immersion in a new culture. It is the story of a rebirth: discovering a new language, learning the hidden meanings behind its everyday words and expressions, exploring the fundamental strangeness of being an immigrant in a society beset by countless demons, taming others as the first emotional bonds are formed in a new homeland.
