These stories were written in English by writers who emigrated to the United States. Why do these writers choose to express themselves in a language other than their native tongue? When writing is a major part of life, coming to a new country and learning to write in its language is, for many writers, necessary to feeling at home in the world in which they now live. But, for whatever reason, these writers, have added their voices to the great song of ourselves making this book our literary heritage to enrich us all.
