A richly personal work of travel writing and memoir, From Odessa to Odessa: The Journey of an Australian Writer chronicles Judah Waten's deeply emotional journey from his adopted homeland of Australia back to Odessa, the Ukrainian city of his birth. Waten, one of Australia's most celebrated Jewish writers, presents a vivid account of rediscovering his cultural and familial roots in the Soviet Union during the 1960s, weaving together reflections on identity, displacement, and belonging. The narrative moves with warmth and introspection, illustrating the profound tension between the world Waten left behind and the life he built in Australia. With a tone that is both lyrical and contemplative, the work stands as a testament to the immigrant experience and the enduring pull of one's origins.
