Synopsis
In her book, Chrusciel maps the biblical event of annunciation onto the current migration crises. Annunciation becomes a symbol of the -yes- that we utter in front of reality, particularly confronted with exiles, strangers--in other words, the other. The book quivers on the brink between openness to the other and the terror the other brings out in us. What does it mean to say -yes- to a stranger? What implications, threats, blessings and responsibilities do -yes- carry? Can we say -yes- to a dislocated soul in order to become more fully who we were meant to be?
