Description
Migratory Birds by Mariana Oliver is a thought-provoking collection of essays that explore the complexities of migration in all its forms. With an abiding curiosity and poetic ease, Oliver delves into themes of memory, war, movement, and home, moving between real cities and more inaccessible territories.
Through her writing, Oliver leads us on a journey through the underground city of Cappadocia, explores the vicissitudes of a Berlin marked by historical fracture, recalls a shocking childhood exodus, and recreates the intimacy of the spaces we inhabit. Blending criticism, reportage, and travel writing, she presents a brilliant collection that asks us what it means to leave the familiar behind and make the unfamiliar our own.
This prize-winning debut is a powerful meditation on migration, language, and home, offering a unique perspective on the human experience of movement and displacement.
