The Deliverance of Others

Exploring the impact of globalization on literature, this book challenges the belief that narrative fiction inherently fosters empathy. It questions the value of bringing diverse lives into our understanding and prompts readers to consider the boundaries of acceptable otherness versus what might be deemed excessive or unsettling. By reexamining the role of literature in shaping our perceptions of others, it invites a critical dialogue on empathy and the complexities of cultural integration in a rapidly changing world.
