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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Gramling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501318047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501318047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"David Gramling","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985962074367,"sku":"9781501318047","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c25fd902-9e99-4513-93c7-9815df1d3af7.jpg?v=1683280560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-invention-of-monolingualism-david-gramling-9781501318047","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
