After briefly describing what \"monolingual” means in scholarship and public discourse, and the pejorative effects this common use may have on non-elite and cosmopolitan populations alike, David Gramling sets out to discover a new conception of monolingualism. Along the way, he explores how writers—Turkish, Latin-American, German, and English-language—have in recent decades confronted monolingualism in their texts, and how they have critiqued the World Literature industry’s increasing hunger for “translatable” novels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45529976537167,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":7000.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781501318054","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
