Against the background of recent extraordinary narratives of displaced girls, I consider two accounts of refugee girls in Britain at earlier historical moments: Lore Segal's Other People's Houses ([1964] 2018) about her memories of being a Kindertransportee in the late 1930s, and Vesna Maric's Bluebird (2009), a memoir of her journey into refugeehood as a teenage girl following the outbreak of the war in Bosnia in the early 1990s. I read their framing of the refugee experience as interventions into hegemonic scripts of displaced girlhood that ultimately destabilize the wider stories of nationhood that such narratives often uphold. Read through the frames of girlhood and refugeetude, these narratives point to alternative modes of imagining refugee girls and their position in and beyond the nation.

Literature and other media often depict older adults as lonely and isolated. Even when older adults are portrayed as part of a community-building process, agency tends to be assigned to younger characters. Through comparative close readings of Philip Roth's Everyman (2006) and Lore Segal's Half the Kingdom (2013), this article shows that other paths are possible. In these two novels—Segal's more explicitly than Roth's—the responsibility lies in the hands of older characters. They build communities while facing what they interpret to be external political forces that make the aging process more difficult than it needs to be.

Call It English identifies the distinctive voice of Jewish American literature by recovering the multilingual Jewish culture that Jews brought to the United States in their creative encounter with English. In transnational readings of works from the late-nineteenth century to the present by both immigrant and postimmigrant generations, Hana Wirth-Nesher traces the evolution of Yiddish and Hebrew in modern Jewish American prose writing through dialect and accent, cross-cultural translations, and bilingual wordplay.

A short story is presented.

Writer Lore Segal writes of the Holocaust in her fiction, such as \"Other People's Houses.\" Segal's fiction is examined for her treatment of the problems raised by the fashion in which experience, memory and language itself shuffle uneasily about each other.
