This book illustrates that the idea of a ‘national’ literature is profoundly problematic. Chapters on boundaries and crisscrossing show how a nation and its writers’ works do not exist in isolation from their history. Stressing migration and (inter)cultural dialogue, authors explore how the characters in the texts establish a sense of belonging both within the context of migrations and within the context of Lithuania since its independence. The final series of essays in this book discusses Lithuanian literature abroad that is in translation.
