Abstract(s)
Siege 13 (2012) is a collection of second-generation Hungarian-Canadian writer Tamas Dobozy's short stories. Dobozy's narratives address some of the central themes of diaspora existence: the importance of remembering, the vulnerable nature of identity in the face of personal and historical losses, and the uncertain boundaries between past and present, real and unreal experiences.
Siege 13 (2012) est un recueil de nouvelles signé par Tamas Dobozy, écrivain hongrois-canadien de seconde génération. Ses récits évoquent les grands thèmes relatifs à l'existence de la diaspora tels que les mécanismes de la mémoire, la fragilité de l'identité face aux pertes de l'histoire et de l'individu, les frontières floues entre le présent et le passé, entre les expériences réelles et non réelles.
