The Writer Uprooted is the first book to examine the emergence of a new                  generation of Jewish immigrant authors in America, most of whom grew up in formerly                  communist countries. In essays that are both personal and scholarly, the                  contributors to this collection chronicle and clarify issues of personal and                  cultural dislocation and loss, but also affirm the possibilities of reorientation                  and renewal. Writers, poets, translators, and critics such as Matei Calinescu,                  Morris Dickstein, Henryk Grynberg, Geoffrey Hartman, Eva Hoffman, Katarzyna Jerzak,                  Dov-Ber Kerler, Norman Manea, Zsuzsanna Ozsvath, Lara Vapnyar, and Bronislava                  Volkova describe how they have coped creatively with the trials of displacement and                  the challenges and opportunities of resettlement in a new land and, for some,                  authorship in a new language.
