Exploring the challenges of translating multilingual literature, Brian Lennon highlights its resistance to conventional publication practices. Through analyses of notable works, including those by G. V. Desani and Orhan Pamuk, he illustrates how national literary cultures often clash with the values of a transnational world. Lennon emphasizes that literature is not static but rather dynamic, constantly in motion across borders and languages, thus reshaping our understanding of literary identity and cultural exchange.
