Descripción
Sumario:Multilingual literature defies simple translation. Beginning with this insight, this book examines the resistance multilingual literature offers to book publication itself. In readings of G.V. Desani's 'All About H. Hatterr', Anthony Burgess's 'A Clockwork Orange', Christine Brooke-Rose's 'Between', Eva Hoffman's 'Lost in Translation', Emine Sevgi Özdamar's 'Mutterzunge', and Orhan Pamuk's 'Istanbul', among other works, this book shows how nationalised literary print culture inverts the values of a transnational age, reminding us that works of literature are, above all, objects in motion.
