TRANSLATING MYSELF AND OTHERS
Description
Praise for Translating Myself and Others "Jhumpa Lahiri is a marvel, a writer with the courage to renounce virtuosity for the sake of vulnerability, experiment, and growth, and it's been wonderful to watch her love affair with the Italian language unfold. In these essays, she delves deep into the fertile interstices of and between languages, giving us a book rich with insights and pleasures." -SUSAN BERNOFSKY, author of Clairvoyant of the Small: The Life of Robert Walser "A remarkable account of Jhumpa Lahiri's journey from English to Italian and back. Her pages on the myth of Echo are the most poignant and eloquent account of the translator's art that I have ever read." - MICHAEL F. MOORE, translator of Alessandro Manzoni's The Betrothed
