Swede among the rednecks

the language that just won't stay buried

First English edition.

A book for Swedes, Americans and Swedish Americans in America with a foot on each side of the Atlantic. A collection of essays for Nordstjernan, written with wit and a keen mind and in the clear-eyed and uncompromising style that's become Kirchdorfer's signature characteristic. Kirchdorfer was born in Sweden and raised both in Europe and the U.S. Now a Swedish American, Kirchdorfer teaches at Darton State College in Albany, Georgia.
