Summary:
In his new book, Christian Moraru argues that post-Cold War culture in general and, in particular, the literature, philosophy, and theory produced since 9/11 foreground an emergent "planetary" imaginary--a "planetarism"--binding in unprecedented ways the world's peoples, traditions, and aesthetic practices ... Moraru analyzes novels by Joseph O'Neill, Mircea Cßrtßrescu, Sorj Chalandon, Zadie Smith, Orhan Pamuk, and Dai Sijie, among others, as demonstration of his paradigm"--Page 4 of cover.
