Abstract: Intercultural communication plays a transformative role in shaping global literature by facilitating the exchange of ideas, values, and narratives across cultural boundaries. This process enriches literary traditions, fosters mutual understanding, and challenges cultural stereotypes. As globalization accelerates, literature increasingly serves as a medium for dialogue between diverse cultures, reflecting shared human experiences while preserving unique cultural identities. This paper explores how intercultural communication influences global literature, examining its impact on narrative forms, thematic diversity, and the evolution of literary traditions.
