More about the book

Exploring the intersections of American and Persian literatures, this work challenges the traditional East-West divide in global literary discourse. It delves into the global circulation of texts while critiquing national literary historiography and neocolonial perspectives. Through the lens of the minor character Parsee Fedallah from Herman Melville's narratives, the book reexamines the complexities of cultural exchange and literary influence, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of World Literature.
