After briefly describing what \"monolingual\" means in scholarship and public discourse, and the pejorative effects this common use may have on non-elite and cosmopolitan populations alike, David Gramling sets out to discover a new conception of monolingualism. Along the way, he explores how writers--Turkish, Latin-American, German, and English-language--have in recent decades confronted monolingualism in their texts, and how they have critiqued the World Literature industry's increasing hunger for \"translatable\" novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Gramling\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of German Studies at the University of Arizona, USA.
