Want to read: This Little Art by Kate Briggs đź“š
“…an intricately structured and finely crafted work that manages to feel refreshingly impromptu…”, says Marisa Grizenko in the latest edition of Plain Pleasures, her book review newsletter. I recommend subscribing!
This Little Art is novel length essay about the trials and tribulations of translation. The publishers blurb calls it “…a genre-bending song for the practice of literary translation…”.
On a whim I checked the library to see if they have a copy—it turns out, yes they do!—so I scooped it up and since this book comes with a deadline I’m actually going to read it now and not two years from now as would likely be the case if I’d found a second hand copy.
