Samenvatting
This chapter presents the experience of mobility as one of duality, an
experience of both rupture and continuity as expressed in the
poetic prose of Kim Thúy, resident in Quebec since her departure
from her native Vietnam at ten years of age. Describing an experience
of fragmented simultaneity that is reflected in her narrative
style, den Toonder locates Thúy’s transnational mobility in a wider
space of transculturality that transgresses divisions between nations
and cultures, and defies the boundaries of migration, exile and
expatriation.
