The narrative offers a profound exploration of the transformation of global society into one of refugees and émigrés, reflecting on the author's personal journey from being a prisoner of war in Nazi Germany to witnessing the devastation of Dresden. It addresses the loss of faith in nation-state belonging and seeks an alternative rooted in a paradoxical loving strife, moving beyond traditional binary oppositions. The chapters chronicle the author's intellectual evolution, engaging with thinkers like Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Cornel West, while navigating the complexities of belonging in a fractured world.
