From one of the most important intellectuals of our time comes an extraordinary story of exile and a celebration of an irrecoverable past. A fatal medical diagnosis in 1991 convinced Edward Said that he should leave a record of where he was born and spent his childhood, and so with this memoir he rediscovers the lost Arab world of his early years in Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt. Said writes with great passion and wit about his family and his friends from his birthplace in Jerusalem, schools in Cairo, and summers in the mountains above Beirut, to boarding school and college in the United States, revealing an unimaginable world of rich, colorful characters and exotic eastern landscapes. Underscoring all is the confusion of identity the young Said experienced as he came to terms with the dissonance of being an American citizen, a Christian and a Palestinian, and, ultimately, an outsider. Richly detailed, moving, often profound, Out of Place depicts a young man's coming of age and the genesis of a great modern thinker.… (més)

Polished prose from Said and he describes the various dislocations of his childhood adroitly, but to me it always felt like an old man looking back rather than the child or the young man in the moment. I mean the book is very consciously about something — the excavation of the “real Edward” from within the shell-Edwards constructed by each of his parents — and this is a narrative apparent to the author only in retrospect. That’s fine, it just rendered the book as a whole sort of distant to me. Also, Ed talks a lot about music and less about books, but we never taste or smell anything. So his memories are made of different stuff from mine. ( )

خارج المكان وخارج الزمان هذا المفكر الفريد الذي لا تستطيع الا ان تحييه على شجاعته الفريدة من نوعها رحم الله ادوارد سعيد الذي امن بالانسان الانسان على حسب وصف الدكتور عبد الوهاب المسيري ولو ان هنالك اختلاف واضح بين قراءة سعيد والمسيري للتاريخ والانسان لكن جوهر همهما كان نصرة الحق ورفع الظلم عن المظلومين
قد نتحاشى بعض تفاصيل هذه السيرة الذاتية الممتعة التي تحمل معاني عميقة لكونها كتبت من مفكر عاش في الولايات المتحدة الامريكية منذ مراهقته تقريبا ,الا انها حتى في هذه التفاصيل تحمل هما واحدا هو القضية الفلسطينية ولن تكتمل لديك الصورة الا وفي مخيلتك هذا النموذج, قراءة التاريخ باعين اديب مثل ادوارد سعيد له ميرة. فانت ترى الاحداث من خلال ماكنه تحليليه للنفس وللمشهد السياسي لا توصف باقل من عبقرية, انوي ان اقرأ في القريب العاجل كتابه الاهم الاستشراق لما له من شهرة واسعة .

Edward Said experienced both British and American imperialism as the old Arab order crumbled in the late forties and early fifties. This account of his early life reveals the influences that have formed his books, "Orientalism" and "Culture and Imperialism". Edward Said was born in Jerusalem, and brought up in Cairo, spending every summer in the Lebanese mountain village of Dhour el Shweir, until he was "banished" to America in 1951. This work is a mixture of emotional archaeology and memory, exploring an essentially irrecoverable past. As ill health sets him thinking about endings, Edward Said returns to his beginnings in this personal memoir of his ferociously demanding "Victorian" father, and his adored, inspiring, yet ambivalent mother.

I picked this up because I was curious but amazingly uninformed about the author and then it languishe for quite some time on my shelf. It's an unusual memoir, jumping around in time in a slightly confusing way, but it created a sense of time and place that I really enjoyed connecting with. The biggest impression was mainly that his parents were just horrible, though. Since I see it through the adult eyes of his childhood memories, maybe it is not as it seems but they seem just horrible. They assume the worst of him and constantly attack him.It is a strange upbringing and only his banishment to boarding school in the US seems to actually save him from it. I'm glad I read it but it took much longer than I expected because it was very difficult at times.

Und Said, der Literaturwissenschaftler, der scharfsinnige Analytiker, der Dekonstrukteur von Mythen und Stereotypen, erweist sich als ein grandioser Erzähler. Man muss nicht gleich, wie Salman Rushdie in einer enthusiastischen Rezension, Proust, Balzac oder Joseph Conrad zum Vergleich heranziehen, um zu erkennen, dass "Out of Place", auf deutsch "Am falschen Ort", zu den bemerkenswertesten Autobiographien gehört, die inden letzten Jahrzehnten erschienen sind.
