variously, mostly translation

  • A collection of Surrealist poetry translated by David Gascoyne.
  • Ekaterina Likhtik’s translation of “La prose du Transsibérien et de la petite Jehanne de France”. Not sure what I think of it; certainly it seems naked without Sonia Delaunay’s illustrations & the original typography.
  • David Mendel comments on translations of and by Primo Levi. He complains (as do many British reviewers) of grating Americanisms in the existing translations; why do American reviewers never complain of Britishisms?
