"Random Destinations" examines how novels and short stories portray
those who managed to escape from Central Europe in the 1930s
following the rise of Nazism. They faced many concrete and
psychological problems at their random destinations: language
acquisition, adjustment to different mores, fitting into the
community, coming to terms with having been rejected by their
homeland, the conflict between the desire to remember and/or forget
their past, and, above all, the need to reshape their identities.
Their personal struggles are contextualized within their historical
situation, both global and specific to their new locale. The book
argues that fiction, by taking ordinary escapees' difficulties into
account, paradoxically offers a subtler and more truer picture that
sociological studies that have tended to foreground the successes
of a few outstanding individuals.
