Özet:

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
