Apter proposes a plurality of “world literatures” oriented around philosophical concepts and geopolitical pressure points, while critically examining the history and theory of the language that constructs World Literature. This book is a must-read for those interested in Comparative Literature, Semiotics & Theory, and Translating & Interpreting, offering fresh perspectives on these subjects with an emphasis on the politics of untranslatability.”
