Press blurb:

Guided by the thesis that literature can transform social reality, *Tirana
Modern* draws on ethnographic and historical material to examine the public
culture of reading in modern Albania. As its starting point, this book
asks: How has Albanian literature and literary translation shaped social
action during the longue durée of Albanian modernity?

Drawing on material collected through fieldwork with a community of
readers, writers, and translators attached to the independent Albanian
publisher Pika pa sipërfaqe (Point without Surface), *Tirana Modern* provides
a tightly focused ethnography of literary culture in Albania that brings
into relief the more general dialectic between social imagination and
social reality as mediated by reading and literature.
