In this issue
Belief in an Age of Intolerance, the urgent cover feature guest-edited by Yahia Lababidi featuring 15 writers from around the globe, headlines the November 2017 issue of World Literature Today. “Belief in the midst of chaos,” writes Lababidi, “remembers the indestructible world.” The issue also includes an essay on empathy in storytelling by Aminatta Forna; new fiction from Egypt and Chile; poetry from Romania and Italy; and interviews with Turkish dissident writer Aslı Erdoğan and American translator Lawrence Venuti. As always, a wealth of book reviews, featured new books, recommended reading lists, and online exclusives round out the issue.
