What comes across here as just a little anecdote is in fact part of a sphererelated to the“construction processes of world literature,”the forces that standbehind works that circulate on the global stage, the forces that cause a novel toleave its more immediate sphere of influence and to become a part of world litera-ture. What can be easily forgotten in the Western world–where García Márquez,under the strong influence of exoticizing readings, has become canonized as themodel of an author from the South–is how familiar and almost commonplaceGarcía Márquez’s narrative worlds may appear not only to Indira Gandhi or evenSalman Rushdie but also to millions of other Indians.The concept of world literature must itself be understood, to begin with, asa construct, rather than as a supposedly objective canon of works of especiallyhigh aesthetic quality: a construct that must of necessity hide the fact of its con-structedness. My goal here is to direct our gaze to the dynamics and very con-crete conditions of production of globally circulating literature, without in theprocess unthinkingly reproducing the same power relationships.
