As much as the rapid and radical changes
that have occurred in the lives of mankind during the past half century, the
circumstances of literature have also changed. With market globalization,
literary works are packaged and sold as cultural products, and literary
boundaries have become obscured and intertwined to give rise to “hybrid” and
“fusion” cultures. In the age of multi-media, text is stripped of its former authority
and literature competes with electronic and video content. For literature to
now survive in this new environment, it must affiliate itself with the new
media or invent new literary forms.
How are the literature and the readers
adapting to this age of fundamental transition, and how should writers respond?
Literature
and Its Readership in the Changing World is a compilation of answers to these questions proposed by writers of
various cultural backgrounds. Throughout three sections entitled “Perceiving
‘Us’ and ‘Them,’” “Literature in the Globalizing World/Age of Multimedia,” and
“Writers and the Market,” Nobel Prize laureates Svetlana Alexievich and
Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio,
post-colonialist literature master Nuruddin
Farah, and other world-class literary masters such as Amitav Ghosh, Antoine
Compagnon, Robert Hass, Omar Pérez Lopéz, and Keiichiro Hirano voice their
views.
