Abstract:

 

The American literary scene hosts today a small and somewhat marginal, but  steadily growing group of displaced Balkan writers. Their writing is scattered, and  difficult to construe as one group, mostly because of the difference in language and  location. However, all of these authors more or less write about the same topics—  of their émigré experiences, of their critical exploration of the West, and of  controversial encounters back home. Authors loosely associated with this project  range from the New Orleans-based Romanian Andrei Codrescu who made many  points about the Balkan perception of the world in his American travelogue Road  Scholar  1993 , to the Paris-based Albanian Ismail Kadare whose allegorical works  are being translated into all major Western languages.
