Moving Worlds
A Journal of Transcultural Writings
Celebrating the diversity and richness of both local and global transcultural communities
Telling Stories/Telling Lives
Volume 6 Number 1
Description
The contributions in this issue-both autobiography and fiction-share a concern with the elusiveness of the past, the fickleness of memory, the journeys we embark upon and experiences gathered along the way, the compulsion to make stories and therefore sense of our lives, and recognition of their own precariousness and of being always in transit.
