چکیده (انگلیسی):

As a whole, this book aims to cross two major theoretical areas, translation theory and diasporic Asian writing.
Situating herself at the crossroads of these areas, Karen An-Hwei Lee demonstrates how well these two areas combine,
and how they can be fruitfully joined in order to close read texts. Each of the four chapters focuses on one or two prose
works, though other works are used for comment. For close examination Lee chooses to engage with Virginia Woolf’s
To the Lighthouse (1927), the work of Sui Sin Far, Chuang Hua’s Crossings (1968), Kazuo Ishiguro’s A Pale View of
Hills(1982) and Theresa Cha’s Dictée(1982).
