Description: "Nativization is a term Alicja Mann created for describing her daunting transition from Poland to the U.S.A. Looking at the World Twice is an apt title, for her evocation of both European and AMerican experiences vividly conveys how such a move is nothing less than leaving one's self for another with the assumption of a new identity. she brings to life a (fortunately defunct) Kafkaesque era in Eastern Europe, but also shares her fear that love of her new nation has been put at risk by recent events."--Back cover
