Recent literary expressions of the immigrant experience reveal the postmodern narrative obsession with the immigrant as cultural and political outlier. This work asks us to reimagine this preoccupation with what Junot Diaz calls the 'actual flows of third world bodies' as part of a larger, more pertinent motif of the postmodern itinerant.
