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. Formulated
as a question, the topic of the book is: How has Albanian
literature and literary translation shaped social action during the
longue duree of Albanian modernity? Drawing on material from the
independent Albanian publisher, Pika pa siperfaqe ("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.
