NYRblog - The Dull New Global Novel - The New York Review of Books
Bit sad, if true. If we're all converging toward an international style and away from local flavor (save the magical realism for Rushdie and Marquez), it doesn't leave much room for the intellect to roam other than in the lingua anglica. Fortunately for me, I write in that most wonderously endless language, already. Wonderous, yet frustrating for its often conspicuous inability to express entire worlds of association in concise, pregnant phrases, without evoking puzzlement.
Perhaps, this is but a testament to the death of erudition. Alas, then. http://blogs.nybooks.com/post/379987448/the-dull-new-global-novel- -
