Michael Cunningham on Translation
“As the author of Las Horas, Die Stunden and De Uren — ostensibly the Spanish, German and Dutch translations of my book The Hours, but actually unique works in their own right — I’ve come to understand that all literature is a product of translation. That is, translation is not merely a job assigned to a translator expert in a foreign language, but a long, complex and even profound series of transformations that involve the writer and reader as well. ‘Translation’ as a human act is, like so many human acts, a far more complicated proposition than it may initially seem to be.”
“Found in Translation,” The New York Times
