Between Two Worlds: Always being, never belonging - Jim White - Bog

Between Two Worlds is a collection of stories about a young boy who grew up between the two very different worlds of Austria and the United States during the seventies. The stories emerged out of his experiences straddling the worlds of post-WWII Europe and the US, switching between German and English, and adjusting to different school systems and different sets of friends. The stories are mostly humorous, sometimes surreal, and occasionally touching as his two worlds collide. While the stories are tethered to a specific time and place, they touch on our universal longing for a home we can never return to.
