Global Voices: Contemporary Literature from the Non-Western World

Rating:
Summary: Not a textbook to sell back
Review: All right. Granted, this book is used by many universities as a textbook for modern literature. Despite the stigma that implies, this is a very worthwhile read. It offers a good cross section of literature from asian to africa. (the african poem "the mulatta and the minotaur" by lorna goodison is a very good example of the quality of work presented) I recommend this for anyone looking to expand their appreciation of literature outside the western world.

Summary: Comprehensive Choice for Student, Teacher, and Buff
Review: As far as a source for world literature that covers the range of everything from contemporary poetry to contemporary drama, there may be no equal to this book.
