Discussion → the dull new global novel
-
i enjoyed this (via gina frangello): http://blogs.nybooks.com/post/379987448/the-dull-new-global-novel being a sucker for 'linguistic virtuosity', i might have to kiss that nobel prize good-bye.
the article is clever with a number of views that i share. a different take on the force called globalisation.
Group Description
Second Tongue is the group for the bi- and multilingual fictionaut.
It doesn't matter to us whether your first language is French, Chinese, Greek, Swahili, Italian, Urdu, or any other of the world's groovy languages:
Make this your home, share your English writing and discuss with us what it means, for you, not to write in your mother tongue.
We also welcome native English speakers, who live and write abroad or who write in another language than English.
Share the pain - and the gain!
Dorothee, Finnegan and Nora
This is a public group.
Anyone can see it and join.
