In Translation: Translators on Their Work and What It Means by Esther Allen, Susan Bernofsky
4.0
Actual rating: 3.5
I had to read this for my Literary Translation Workshop. Some of the essays were very entertaining and gave you a real window into the mind and process of a translator. Others possessed a language so academically verbose and hoity-toity that I found myself drifting into sleep as I read on. It's a good book to consume bit by bit.
