About this episode
When a person is torn from their homeland, the written word often becomes the only possible home. Writing from a distance is not only an act of memory, but a form of resistance, of rebuilding identity piece by piece and defying oblivion.
In this episode, I will reflect on how uprooting has given birth to some of the most universal works in history. I will talk about authors who transformed loss into art and the pain of exile into a bridge to the reader.
