The immigrant experience is a theme in fiction of which readers never tire. When relocation becomes dislocation, when the hope of new opportunity becomes the slap of racism, when the new land and the old culture collide, we get great stories. From Newfoundlanders in the Albertan oilpatch, to immigrants in the Montréal ghetto, from learning a new language to the search to feel at home on foreign soil, four writers, each of whom have “dislocated,” talk about creating stories of immigration, emigration and the search to feel at home in your own skin. |
