Literature and the Global Contemporary by Sarah Brouillette

Far from suggesting that we replace theories of an omnipresent end of history with a traditional, single, diachronic timeline, this book encourages the development of such a timelines rigorous inverse: a synchronic, multi-faceted and multi-temporal history of the contemporary in literature, and thus of contemporary global literatures.
