Books sometimes speak to each other in a kind of question-and-answer. My 1980s transnational quest novel, (Knut House, 2016), reclaims the xenophobic taunt and repurposes it. The opening paragraph of poses the relevant question for my Parsi Indian American protagonist Viraf: “But where, exactly, was that?” Reading of poet Solmaz Sharif’s quest for home in “Naming the Nowhere That Language Was Stuck In” (March/April 2022) by Douglas Kearney,: “She is the person who’s made of all people somehow.” Thanks for a great article and your consistently excellent magazine.
