Sažetak

This paper explores the often-overlooked writing by female émigrés. It examines four autobiographies written about and within the condition of exile and in an acquired or non-native language, a phenomenon known as exophony. These three terms, exile, exophony and autobiography, represent the basis from which the narratives take shape and underpin all other thematical and formal components. The texts here analysed are Eva Hoffman’s Lost in Translation: A Life in a New Language (1990), Nancy Huston’s Losing North: Musings on Land, Tongue and Self (2002), Jhumpa Lahiri’s In Other Words (2017) and Anca Vlasopolos’ No Return Address: A Memoir of Displacement (2000). The chosen corpus testifies to the particularity of the female exilic experience and demonstrates it is a productive condition in which women have the possibility to re-negotiate their identities within a different socio-cultural matrix. The two key concerns that arise in the narratives are the processes of becoming writers and women anew, as they explore how to find a voice, literally and metaphorically, in a new language.
