Taking her own experience of translating Roland Barthes's lecture notes as a starting point the author threads various stories together to give us this portrait of translation as a compelling complex and intensely relational activity. She recounts the story of Helen Lowe - Porter's translations of Thomas Mann and their posthumous vilification. She writes about the loving relationship between Andr Gide and his translator Dorothy Bussy. She recalls how Robinson Crusoe laboriously made a table for him for the first time on an undeserted island. With This Little Art a beautifully layered account of a subjective translating experience Kate Briggs emerges as a truly remarkable writer: distinctive wise frank funny and utterly original.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: This Little Art\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Briggs Kate\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Fitzcarraldo Editions\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781910695456\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 400 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 9\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Literary Essays","brand":"Briggs Kate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51775776620849,"sku":"IN-G-9781910695456","price":26.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781910695456-this-little-art","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
