Not only a brilliant collection of inspired readings, Kellman's Nimble Tongues wakes up literary studies from the lethargy of cultural coherence. Our conventional practices of organizing books by one or another national language miss the charm of writers who are on the move--geographically and linguistically--as they make strategic decisions among stylistic options offered by competing languages. Those aesthetic decisions are worthy of our attention as readers and teachers. Thanks to Kellman's book, we have a model and a guide for tuning our taste toward intentional art. He captures the contributions of multilingual artists to refresh perceptions and to train readers for interpretive agility in a world that won't stand still or repeat itself. --Doris Sommer, Ira and Jewell Williams, Jr., Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures, and African and African American Studies, Harvard University A broad overview of vital topics in the growing field of literary translingualism is long overdue.
