Wandering Star by J M G Le Clezio
Wandering Star

pageater, September 6, 2006

J.M.G once again astonishes us with the dance between harsh reality and candor.

He suceeds in balancing events with a complete objectiveness.

In an uncomparable way, J.M.G manages to capture the palestinian and israelian individual perception.

Resulting from his own "exile" is perhaps,the creation of the two main protagonists:"I consider myself an exile because my family is entirely Mauritian. For generations we were fed on Mauritian folklore, food, legends and culture. It is a very mixed culture, a fusion of India, Africa and Europe. I was born in France and raised in France with this country?s culture. I grew up telling myself that there was a somewhere else which embodied my true homeland. One day I would go there, and I would know what it was. So in France I always thought of myself a little bit of an "outsider"." (J.-M. G. Le Cl?zio)
