Examines some of the most intriguing writers of the twentieth century, including Joseph Conrad, Jean Rhys, Salman Rushdie, and J. M. Coetzee. In a world which is insistently "global" yet at the same time shows people retreating into singular versions of belonging and identity, Clingman explores the idea of the "transnational" in key works of fiction.
