Ten Literary Translators on the Art of Translation
Original: 10 Literary Translators on the Art of Translation "Like the ghostwriter, the translator must slip on a second skin." by
Emily Temple's piece on Literary Hub gathers ten literary translators reflecting on their craft. Among them, one compares the translator's work to ghostwriting, saying the translator must 'slip on a second skin' of the author. The roundup is drawing attention from readers and book communities interested in how literature crosses languages.
Why now: Book lovers are sharing an essay collecting translators' reflections on their often invisible craft.
