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":49772578898168,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":80.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781501318047-1.jpg?v=1783710657","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781501318047","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
