Journal Article
Those Outside the Scene: \Snow\ in the World Republic of Letters
2010
Overview
Described by the author as \"my first and last political novel,\" Snow is, in what I will suggest are crucial ways, a novel less \"about\" Turkey than about the representation of Turkey on both a literary and a political world stage-\"the microcosm of Turkey in a small town\" inverted and expanded within a global world-literary and worldliterary- critical aesthetic.5 My argument will be that any reading of Snow properly sensitive to its author's investments in a transnational literary market must grapple with the novel's internal projective figuration of transnational readership, and that such a reading necessarily brings with it a sense of the real limits-which is not to say the impossibility, or the disvalue-of critical discourse on world literature.6 In thus focusing a literary-critical problematic of representation in and through Snow, my goal is to dislodge for a moment, from the doors of critical perception, the legacy of Pascale Casanova's now widely influential La république mondiale des lettres.
