Off-topic : Living abroad

Off-topic : This is the book, and more will come. I am not even half through it but I already know this is the book. "The End of Belonging: Untold stories of leaving home and the psychology of global relocation" is the first book I am reading that tells a story I know, but on a common mode. Not that literature was irrelevant. Miller in Paris in the 30', and in Greece, Durrell in Egypt, or Lord Jim and others telling the story of being and living abroad. But literature has proved insufficient, even inadequate at times. This is it, and the good thing is that this will give birth to more books from now on.
