"“You know who causes most of the traffic problems? Foreigners or returning immigrants like you. You stop when you’re supposed to, give the other cars the right-of-way, allow crowds of pedestrians to cross the street.” -- Ledia Xhoga, Misinterpretatio" Read more of this review »

Misinterpretation by Ledia Xhoga
"I would probably give this book a 4.5 overall, but I'll round up because it really kept me on my toes and I think it's so well-written and original for a debut novel.

I'm a sucker for any book interested in language, translation, and interpretation -" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Ledia Xhoga  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Somewhere on the lower east side, an artist had once handed me a map she'd designed. Instead of landmark buildings or venues, the map contained references to important events that had happened to her at certain cross streets, coffee shops, parks. The map had guided me through that stranger's breakups, memorable encounters, unforgettable parties, exquisite dinners. The map also revealed the exact locations of a haunting confession, a betrayal, and a promise that would soon be forgotten. A map of emotions was perhaps closer to anyone's perception of reality. While walking through a familiar city, wasn't spatial awareness always linked to old memories and regrets?”
Ledia Xhoga, Misinterpretation
