    Jeffrey R. Di Leo
    For better or worse, America lives in the age of 'worlded†? literature. Not the world literature of nations and nationalities considered from most powerful and wealthy to the least. And not the world literature found with a map. Rather, the worlded literature of individuals crossing borders, mixing stories, and speaking in dialect. Where translation struggles to be effective an...

Condemned to conform to laws and rules imposed by governments, communities, social groups and family bonds, we revel in the fantasy of the trickster whose energy and cunning knows no bounds and for whom nothing is sacr...

    Matthew Griffiths
    Climate change is the greatest issue of our time - and yet too often literature on the subject is considered only in the bracket of ’environmental’ writing, divorced from culture, society and politics.
