From the author of the highly praised novel Oyster, Dislocations is filled with "sensuous, speculative fictions about the experience of dislocation. . . . Stories develop like poems or meditations." (New York Times Book Review) These stories help us to find our place in a world in which we have all become rootless travelers. Janette Turner Hospital's characters are exiles who share an intimate knowledge of dislocation: from their culture, from their native countries, from themselves. Her intimate stories capture the turning points in her character's lives: Indian lovers on a last romantic weekend before their arranged marriages; a daughter's welcome home after years of travel.
