A gorgeous and important exploration of an immigrant’s sense of “cultural bereavement” by Alisha H. Gupta @nytimes “It’s not a nation or a place and it’s not just that they miss the taste of food — it’s that all those things are essentially associated with a loss of an identity.”
In 1950, my father was a 16 y.o. war refugee fleeing Wonsan, North Korea. He carried with him a wallet-sized photo of his mother, whom he never saw again. Decades later, I had the crumpled photograph restored and re-sized. Today, my beautiful grandmother is in @nytimes.
