Summary:
When Stephen Alter began writing fiction, it was hardly surprising
that his stories "were full of invisible borders and erased
identities." He was born in India, the son of Presbyterian
missionaries, and although he relished the majestic natural beauty of
his home high in the Himalayas--memorably evoked in crystalline
prose--his memoir reveals a youth who never felt quite at home
anywhere. (The United States during two family furloughs seemed as
exotic as India.) Alter's outsider perspective provides many telling
insights in his account of a remarkable boyhood.
