 | In Babel''s Shadow: Multilingual Literatures, Monolingual States Subjects: American literature -- 20th century -- History and criticism -- Theory etc.; Multilingualism and literature; Literature publishing -- United States; 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. DesaniOCOs All about H. Hatterr, Anthony BurgessOCOs A Clockwork Orange, Christine Brooke-RoseOCOs Between, Eva HoffmanOCOs Lost in Translation, Emine Sevgi uzdamarOCOs Mutterzunge, and Orhan PamukOCOs Istanbul, 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. |
