"A ... voyage around the globe, through classic and modern literary works that are in conversation with one another and with the world around them ... Following a literary itinerary from London to Venice, Tehran and points beyond, and via authors from Woolf and Dante to Nobel Prize-winners Orhan Pamuk, Wole Soyinka, Mo Yan, and Olga Tokarczuk, [the author] explores how these works have shaped our idea of the world, and the ways in which the world bleeds into literature" -- Provided by publisher.
