The Illiterate | Agota Kristof, Nina Bogin
This story of exile and loss, of how, for the refugee, the country in which she eventuall settles, however kind and well-meaning its inhabitants, will always be a poor and inadequate substitute for the country of one's birth, its language always an alien thing, however proficient she becomes in it - this is the story of so many people today that it is perhaps the story of our time. This is Agota Kristof's memoirs.
