Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Though it is difficult enough to write well in one's native tongue, an extraordinary group of authors has written enduring poetry and prose in a second, third, or even fourth language. Switching Languages is the first anthology in which translingual authors from throughout the world examine their experiences writing in more than one language or in a language other than their primary one. Driven by factors as varied as migration, imperialism, a quest for verisimilitude, and a desire to assert artistic autonomy, translingualism has a long and brilliant history. In Switching Languages, Steven G. Kellman brings together several notable authors from the past one hundred years who discuss their personal translingual experiences and their take on a general phenomenon that has not received the attention it deserves. Contributors to the book include Chinua Achebe, Julia Alvarez, Mary Antin, Elias Canetti, Rosario Ferr , Ha Jin, Salman Rushdie, L opold S dar Senghor, and Ilan Stavans. They offer vivid testimony to the challenges and achievements of literary translingualism. Steven G. Kellman is a professor of comparative literature at the University of Texas at San Antonio. He is the author of The Translingual Imagination (Nebraska 2000) and The Self-Begetting Novel, and is the co-editor of UnderWords: Perspectives on Don DeLillo's Underworld.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Rambling Prose is a collection of essays by Steven Kellman, culled from his lifetime of work on comparative literature, criticism, and film studies. Filled with wordplay and surprising insight, the collection demonstrates his range as an essayist and invites us to explore the human experience through refined literary analysis.Kellman explores such topics as animal rights, silence, mortality, eroticism, film, and language with his unique critical perspective and offers complex investigations of eternal human quandaries that raise more questions than they answer. Two original pieces complement the remaining twenty-six, which appeared in the Chronicle Review, the Hedgehog Review, Puerto Del Sol, and other publications from 1980 to 2016.Kellman's nuanced explorations of moments in history like the intersection of Camus and the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States or the combined comedy and tragedy of writers running for office challenge us to understand our world through the lens of good prose. His deft navigation of the implications of language helps parse the cultural impact of words in instances ranging from Pauline Kael's revolutionary film criticism to Esperanto's use in popular media. The intellectually curious will find validation and insight into favorite authors and critics, while those just approaching the literary world may be inspired to delve deeper.Witty and insightful, Kellman entertains and educates, pokes fun at institutions, and honors the contributions of those who have come before him. Rambling Prose is a book for anyone who loves language and believes in the power, both positive and negative, of words to change the world.…
