Kritik
"The book opens some enticing doors, and readers will be able to extend Menozzi's discussion into areas he has chosen ... . The book thus develops significant insights into the importance of world literature for understanding how diverse experiences of time reveal the power and limits of global capitalism." (Paul Huebener, ariel - A Review of International English Literature, Vol. 53 (1-2), 2022)mehr
