She traces the theme of translation in Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks and takes up the question of Italo Calvino’s popularity as a translated author. Lahiri considers the unique challenge of translating her own work from Italian to English, the question “Why Italian?,” and the singular pleasures of translating contemporary and ancient writers.Featuring essays originally written in Italian and published in English for the first time, as well as essays written in English, Translating Myself and Others brings together Lahiri’s most lyrical and eloquently observed meditations on the translator’s art as a sublime act of both linguistic and personal metamorphosis UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9780691238609?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780691238609 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780691238609/original ER -
