It is difficult to be estranged from one’s native culture. A desire to establish an identity in a new culture appears to be desirable and difficult.

descriptions of ordinary objects as well as memories they correspond to. For both authors, the collections serve as a sort of authentication of the identity they have ascribed to themselves in the past, ultimately contributing to their current sense of self.
