In Saviana Stanescu’s Waxing West, Daniela, newly arrived in the US from Romania, is haunted by the ghosts of deposed dictator Ceausescu and his wife Elena until she experiences 9/11. Thida San, in Catherine Filloux’s Eyes of the Heart, cannot rid herself of the horrific memory of her daughter’s execution during the reign of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. In Zohar Tzur’s My Political Israeli Play, Miriam Bloom, a young Israeli woman living in the US, is asked by her agent to write a political play. Betty Shamieh’s The Black Eyed skewers traditional views on sex, family and terrorism as four Arab women from different periods wait at the “Gate of Martyrs.” America Dreaming, by Chiori Miyagawa, follows a young Japanese-American woman’s time-traveling journey through a distorted version of American history in search of truth about her identity.
