Interesting articles about translation issues

1. "Swann's Ways" by Wyatt Mason originally published in The Nation (01.17.05) and reproduced in the pages of the Austin Area Translators and Interpreters Association http://www.aatia.org/sigs/LitTranInNews.htm

2. "Tolstoy's Real Hero" a review by Orlando Figes of the new translation of War and Peace by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. (published in the New York Review of Books, November 22, 2007) A fascinating discussion of the different approaches to the Russian classics by translators across the decades, a 'must' read for any translator.  http://www.nybooks.com/articles/20810

3. A review by David Pellauer (DePaul University) of Paul Ricoeur’s On Translation (Routledge, 2006) in the Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews 2007.02.14  http://ndpr.nd.edu/review.cfm?id=8783

4. "Great Leap Forward" by Julia Lovell, in the Guardian (June 11, 2005) about the current state of Chinese fiction and the lack of translations published in the UK. It begins: "Why does modern Japanese fiction have an audience in Britain while its Chinese counterpart plays to an empty house?"  http://books.guardian.co.uk/departments/generalfiction/story/0,,1503763,00.html

5. The review Calque 4 (not online) carried a very lengthy interview with Michael Emmerich, a translator from Japanese (Kawabata Yasunari's First Snow on Fuji etc) with a sample passage translated from Japanese 'faithfully' then edited by a professional American style editor to make it more attractive to American publishers. This provoked a strong critique from one reader, carried on the Calque blog page http://calquezine.blogspot.com/ with a response from Emmerich, dealing with some of the issues familiar to us in the 'faithfulness versus readability' debate.

6. An ebook of Paul Ricoeur's "On Translation" is available.
