Abstract
Role Play and Other Stories navigates the displacement and bi-cultural identity of an Albanian immigrant family. Moments of surprising strength, defiance, and compassion redefine a history marked by despair, misunderstandings, and secrets. The characters in these seven linked, fictional stories live on the periphery of American society and strive to reinvent themselves against a backdrop of old world rituals, superficial comforts and new world challenges.
