Book excerpt: The broad streets of Vienna and the bustling port of Odesa, a small dying village somewhere in central Ukraine, a dusty boot camp where tents stand in a semi-circle under the scorching sun, lacquered school hallways and narrow dormitory rooms - what is the overlap here? Can a person live multiple disconnected lives, in multiple places, but remain one and the same? What does it really mean to fall under the category of 'third country citizen'? This work is a collection of memories, glimpses into the strange, complex life of a lonely teen immigrant. The stories of loss and gain explore the dichotomies of love and hate for people and places; of belonging while being disconnected and not belonging while sharing; of holding onto things one should move on from and pushing away what should be embraced.
