Recenzii
Errant Destinations by Andrea Jeftanovic is a force to be reckoned with as a new cornerstone of contemporary thought and narrative. Robustly translated, edited, and introduced by Jacqueline Nanfito, with a preface by Marjorie Agosín, this volume of creative non-fiction engages questions of identity, migration, travel, empathy, and memory, during an era of unprecedented global displacement. Anyone reading contemporary writers from Chile, the Americas, or frankly, any part of the world, must read this book.
In Errant Destinations, Andrea Jeftanovic productively complicates the travel narrative, with special emphasis on the stretches of each journey carried out on foot. These nine essays artfully portray a diversity of locales while taking on such difficult topics as the long-term aftereffects of repressive régimes, the struggle to find common ground between Israelis and Palestinians or the Jewish and Palestinian communities in Chile, and the relation between the fictional version of places and the real-world originals on which they are modeled. Jeftanovic brings her unobtrusive erudition, ironic eye, and writerly skill to these evocative texts, in which every detail observed is saturated with significance.
