The resurgence of the literary letter at the end of the long twentieth century serves as a focal point, showcasing how authors utilize epistolary forms to foster dialogue across diverse cultural and linguistic landscapes. The book highlights contemporary and postcolonial writers like Monica Ali and Amitav Ghosh, revealing how letters challenge boundaries such as prisons and nation-states. By presenting non-anglophone perspectives to anglophone audiences, these works emphasize the importance of reader engagement and the responsibility to respond to their messages.
