En 'Fuera de lugar', Edward W. Said ofrece un relato fascinante sobre su desarrollo vital como crítico y pensador, dividido entre Oriente y Occidente. Más que una simple confrontación con los fantasmas de la infancia y la crónica de un mundo desaparecido, este libro es una recapitulación de los temas centrales en la vida de Said: el destierro, la desposesión y el exilio interior. Escritas durante una enfermedad grave y tras un regreso traumático a los lugares de su infancia, estas memorias ofrecen una perspectiva renovada sobre una vida y obra marcadas por una constante negativa a rendirse. Salman Rushdie describe la obra como un acto conmovedor de reivindicación y comprensión, un retrato de una educación transcultural, escrito con intensidad y honestidad, que permite conocer íntimamente la experiencia de ser palestino en el último medio siglo.
Edward Wadie Said was a Palestinian and American academic, literary critic, and political activist. As a professor of literature at Columbia University, he was among the founders of post-colonial studies. As a cultural critic, Said is best known for his book Orientalism (1978), a foundational text which critiques the cultural representations that are the bases of Orientalism—how the Western world perceives the Orient. His model of textual analysis transformed the academic discourse of researchers in literary theory, literary criticism, and Middle Eastern studies.
