Dear SEELANGers,
I just received the newest issue of The New Yorker (7 November), in which
there is a substantial article by David Remnick, entitled (and subentitled),
"The Translation Wars: How the race translate Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky [sic!]
continues to spark feuds, end friendships, and create small fortunes." Whew.
Haven't read it yet, but it sure sounds juicy. (Sadly, this piece is not
among those that the magazine is offering for free on its website.)
All best wishes,
David
