David Shook of Huffington Post on the English Language in Other Countries' Literature -- Analysis

The article in question.

Even though this article is not quite as new as I'd like it to be, it is interesting nonetheless. Basically, English has been popping up in literature all over the globe, and more specifically in South Asia. Bangladesh, more recently, has allowed a certain English book to be featured in it's books and art festival on the 15th and 16th of November.

It's interesting to me that some countries have absolutely no English at all. Since it is the only language I speak, it is strange that some countries do not use it or even allow books to be shown in the language during their festivals. But, more importantly, that the language is spreading around all over the world, even in countries that have never used it, it very fascinating. Having English as a common language that almost everyone speaks in the near future would be very interesting, even though the likelihood of that happening is very slim.
