Klappentext " The Other Shore is a masterful call to come to terms with the complicities of ethnographic and literary work. As always, Michael Jackson's distinct ability to render lives and stories with equally deep writerly patience and cultural compassion creates a particularly graceful demonstration of how 'the very act of writing signifies a refusal to be bound'"—Steven Feld, author of Jazz Cosmopolitan in Accra: Five Musical Years in Ghana " The Other Shore offers an unusual, thought-provoking and beautifully written exploration of the creative lives of writers. This is the most personal of Jackson's books, as he traces the influences of his favorite writers upon his own relationships and life of writing, traveling, and teaching."—Christopher Houston, author of Kurdistan: Crafting of National Selves Zusammenfassung Addresses the interplay between modes of writing, modes of understanding, and modes of being in the world.
