| "As names adjust to a foreign country, something is always lost--be it a dot, a letter, or an accent...It is this cutback a foreigner learns first. The primary requirement of accommodation in a strange land is the estrangement of the hitherto most familiar: your name." Elif Safak--The Saint of Incipient Insanities, 2004 |
