{"product_id":"in-babels-shadow-multilingual-literatures-monolingual-states","title":"In Babel's Shadow","description":"Multilingual literature defies simple translation. Beginning with this insight, Brian Lennon examines the resistance multilingual literature offers to book publication itself. In readings of G. V. Desani’s \u003ci\u003eAll about H. Hatterr\u003c\/i\u003e, Anthony Burgess’s \u003ci\u003eA Clockwork Orange\u003c\/i\u003e, Christine Brooke-Rose’s \u003ci\u003eBetween\u003c\/i\u003e, Eva Hoffman’s \u003ci\u003eLost in Translation\u003c\/i\u003e, Emine Sevgi Özdamar’s \u003ci\u003eMutterzunge\u003c\/i\u003e, and Orhan Pamuk’s \u003ci\u003eIstanbul\u003c\/i\u003e, among other works, Lennon shows how nationalized literary print culture inverts the values of a transnational age, reminding us that works of literature are, above all, objects in motion. Looking closely at the limit of both multilingual literary expression and the literary journalism, criticism, and scholarship that comments on multilingual work, \u003ci\u003eIn Babel’s Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e presents a critical reflection on the fate of literature in a world gripped by the crisis of globalization.","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53984959594840,"sku":null,"price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780816665020__677317529e0f3.jpg?v=1741160418","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/in-babels-shadow-multilingual-literatures-monolingual-states","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
