Translating Myself and Others by Jhumpa Lahiri
Did not finish book.
informative
reflective
slow-paced
3.0
Lahiri compiles her essays about language, translating and her journey as a writer.
Jhumpa Lahiri’s writing is very insightful and her journey as a writer and translator is compelling! Lahiri’s writing style is smooth and sophisticated, but I found myself being pulled out of her narrative because of her heavy reliance on greek myth as a comparison point. Not a bad mark on her part just my own really, but if you’re looking for a sophisticated take on writing and translating I would definitely recommend this book!
