Volume 90 No. 5 September 2016

The September 2016 issue of World Literature Today is bursting at the seams with literary superstars from all over the globe. We kick off the fall with two big interviews, one with Pulitzer Prize winner Viet Thanh Nguyen and a second with Puterbaugh Fellow Alain Mabanckou. Dubravka Ugrešić—winner of the 2016 Neustadt Prize—contributes to our Puterbaugh Essay series with a powerful statement on the public silencing of women. Gulf literature from Cuba, Mexico, and the US South takes special prominence in a feature section, and we visit destinations as disparate as Dharamshala and Detroit. As always, the issue is packed with reviews of the best fiction, verse, and other writing from all over the world. All this and more is waiting for you in the latest issue of World Literature Today!
