			        		Gloria Fisk has written an important and challenging book. Using the work and career of Orhan Pamuk, she has set out to understand the complex and not always benign forces that go into the making of a worldwide literary superstar. Not for or against Pamuk, this book is with him in his attempt to enter the gates of the Western canon without at the same time losing his soul. (Keith Gessen, cofounding editor of n + 1)Taking Orhan Pamuk as her central case study, Gloria Fisk probes the uses and abuses of world authors in American literary studies, as foreign writers become enlisted for domestic agendas. Her nuanced account will provoke self-reflection and debate among postcolonialists, comparatists, and world literary scholars alike. (David Damrosch, Harvard University)Orhan Pamuk and the Good of World Literature unrelentingly probes what it means to think of the literary as a vehicle of political good, to assume that reading a novel about far-off places promotes empathy, and to valorize select writers as translators of alien worlds, even as their works circulate only in English in the West. Showing what it means to read a writer like Orhan Pamuk as a bridge between East and West, Fisk highlights the risks of transporting a U.S. multicultural logic to the globe, insisting that the Anglo-American academy is complicit in the very hegemony it seeks to critique. (Yogita Goyal, University of California, Los Angeles)In this forcefully argued book, Gloria Fisk defends Orhan Pamuk&#x2015;and other writers of world literature&#x2015;from nationalists who brand them as traitors and academics who cling to reading in the original. It is a book that tackles the question of literature in our time.  (Martin Puchner, Harvard University)In Orhan Pamuk and the Good of World Literature, Gloria Fisk offers a case study of the oeuvre and persona of Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk. (Erik Noonan Rain Taxi Review)A provocative and necessary contribution to the field of contemporary world literature. (Audrey J. Golden College Literature)
