*The Fall of Language in the Age of English* by Minae Mizumura explores the impact of English as a dominant global language on other languages and cultures. Mizumura, a prominent Japanese novelist, examines how the rise of English affects linguistic diversity, cultural identity, and the preservation of languages. The book delves into the consequences of English's global hegemony, including the marginalization of other languages and the erosion of cultural heritage. Through a blend of personal reflection, literary analysis, and cultural critique, Mizumura offers a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges faced by non-English languages and the broader implications for global cultural dynamics.
