"Born several weeks after her parents' arrival in the United States, Carol Ascher came of age in Topeka, Kansas, where her father, a Vienna-trained lay analyst, found work among the group of refugee clinicians recruited there for the Menninger Clinic. Growing up, Ascher's challenge was to reconcile the Midwestern views of her community; the irrepressible optimism of her mother and her mother's tendency to romanticize her Berlin childhood; and the more sardonic views of her father and his highly cultured emigre circle, for whom memory was both illness and cure."
Carol Ascher Knihy
Autorka čerpá ze svého bohatého uprchlického původu, který hluboce formoval její psaní. Její díla zkoumají témata předsudků, nerovnosti a identity skrze optiku osobních zkušeností a akademického výzkumu v oblasti urbanismu a vzdělávání. Prostřednictvím své prózy a esejů autorka proniká do složitosti kulturního střetu a hledání lidskosti v kontextu historických traumat a snahy o nový život.
