Description

This collection of texts celebrates the life and work of Barbara Wright, a pioneering translator who introduced English-speaking readers to some of the most innovative French literature of the 20th century. Wright's contributions have had a profound impact on the literary landscape.

Featuring work by notable scholars such as David Bellos, Breon Mitchell, and Nick Wadley, as well as a previously unpublished screenplay written and translated by Wright in collaboration with Robert Pinget, this book marks an important step in properly commemorating Wright's legacy. A debt of gratitude is owed to Wright for her tireless efforts in bringing French literature to the English-speaking world.
