Blending autofiction, fable, and choose-your-own-adventure, Stanisic traces a family's escape during the conflict in Yugoslavia, and the years that followed as they built a life in Germany. As he explores what it means to be European today, he examines how it feels to learn a new language, to find new friends and new jobs, and to build an identity between countries and cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated by Damion Searls, Where You Come From is about homelands, both remembered and imagined. A book that bends form and genre with wit, heart, and exceptional craftsmanship to explore questions that lie inside all of us: about language and shame, about arrival and making it just in time, about luck and death, about what role our origins and memories play in our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Wonderfully inventive and impressive.' - Guardian\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanisic, Sasa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42465825783992,"sku":"9781787332782","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781787332782.jpg?v=1734721803","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781787332782","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
