Nocturno de Chile
|
Read the Gaurdian review of the new novel (is that redundant?) By Night in Chile by Roberto Bolaņo from Chile. Actually it's not so new (2000 AD)... but Chris Andrews's translation is.

Praising the syntax of a translated author?
|
There's an interesting paragraph in The Elements of Editing: A Modern Guide for Editors and Journalists (paperback 1982 edition, p.37) It's giving advice regarding the development of good syntax, and lists several well-known writers. One of those listed is Gabriel García Márquez! Wouldn't Gregory Rabassa or another of Márques' translators be the more appropriate recipent of a good syntax reward?

Arresting "Al-Adab"
|
"Al-Adab" means literature in Arabic, a fitting name for a Lebanese monthly magazine that has been in existence for the last 50 years. Unfortunately, those living in Egypt will find it difficult to read this month's edition as its been banned there.

Classifying Literary Works (or, Why is there a Jewish Guide?)
|
The classification of literary works is no simple job. Are there not an infinite number of classification schemes? Is any one of them sufficient every time you want to search or browse for information?

Lem's Solaris is a movie... again
|
|
Tomorrow is the opening of the Hollywood remake of Solaris, which is based on the science fiction novel of the same title by Stanislaw Lem, astonishingly fresh Polish writer of fiction and essays about fiction.
The first movie was done by Tarkovsky in 1972. The new one was produced by James Cameron (The Terminator) and directed by Steven Soderbergh (Traffic), and it stars George Clooney.

Where did all the translation grants go?
|
Up to last year, funding (albeit very limited) was still on offer for translations. Now I can't find any. Can anyone tell me where to look?
