Contemporary literature scholar Larisa Muravyova's autofiction chronicles the fracture and reassembly of identity against the backdrop of emigration. In this text, the personal is intertwined with the political, and the experience of crossing borders becomes a starting point for finding support in language. The "I" fractured in emigration is echoed by the text's splintered spaces: Tel Aviv and Berlin become not only geographical but also internal landscapes, exploring which the heroine meticulously records her losses and makes her own experience the object of close observation.
