Expatriates of No CountryThe Letters of Shirley Hazzard and Donald Keene\nAuthor(s): Shirley Hazzard, Donald Keene, Brigitta Olubas\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Columbia University Press, United States\nImprint: Columbia University Press\nISBN-13: 9780231214452, 978-0231214452\nSynopsis\nFor more than thirty years, the acclaimed novelist Shirley Hazzard and the renowned scholar of Japanese literature Donald Keene maintained a remarkable epistolary friendship. Brought together by the death of a mutual friend in the late 1970s, they discovered a profound connection built on mutual affinities for literature and culture and common values of humanism and cosmopolitanism.\n\nExpatriates of No Country presents Hazzard and Keenes correspondence, offering readers a new and intimate perspective on the work and achievements of these towering figures. Both left behind their countries of birth, and they shared experiences of displacement, estrangement, and fashioning new lives and selves in ado.
