Ann Mao - "World Literature"

My definition of “World Literature”:

To me, “World Literature” is something that can stand the test of time. It is a collection of works that have been of either great influence or have offered insight into a place in the world at some point in time. “World Literature” is something that can be translated into many different languages so that people everywhere can become aware of the social phenomena taking place in a part of the world. Without this particular form of literature, it would be pretentious for any one region of the world to feel as if they understand how people worldwide live their everyday lives.
