In the novel Michael paradoxically conceives of place both as a site of loss and as a ground of belonging, even though belonging is usually associated with plenitude, a fullness of being in social, spatial, and other contexts. "Fugitive Pieces" emphasizes the spatial consciousness of a displaced child survivor. In making the places of exile signify with the refugee's own loss, Michael both extends Holocaust consciousness to places not usually associated with the event and affirms the survivor's need for continued place-based experience. Moreover, through immersion in the history of his exilic places, the survivor connects his own losses with those of others. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Literary Criticism src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Contemporary Literature is the property of University of Wisconsin Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
