520    "A beguiling exploration of the joys of reading across 
       boundaries, inspired by the author's year-long journey 
       through a book from every country. Following an impulse to
       read more internationally, journalist Ann Morgan undertook
       first to define "the world" and then to find a story from 
       each of 196 nations. Tireless in her quest and assisted by
       generous, far-flung strangers, Morgan discovered not only 
       a treasury of world literature but also the keys to unlock
       it. Whether considering the difficulties faced by writers 
       in developing nations, movingly illustrated by Burundian 
       Marie-Thérese Toyi's Weep Not, Refugee; tracing the use of
       local myths in the fantastically successful Samoan YA 
       series Telesa; delving into questions of censorship and 
       propaganda while sourcing a title from North Korea; or 
       simply getting hold of The Corsair, the first Qatari novel
       to be translated into English, Morgan illuminates with wit,
       warmth, and insight how stories are written the world over
       and how place-geographical, historical, virtual-shapes the
       books we read and write" --|cProvided by publisher.
