Description
This half-memoir, half-philosophical exploration delves into the art of translation and its potential for activism and humanist engagement. Mireille Gansel's story is one of personal loss and resilience, as she navigates the complexities of moving between languages and cultures.
Through her experiences translating poets from East Berlin and Vietnam in the 1960s and 1970s, Gansel illustrates the estrangement every translator feels for the privilege of bridging tongues. This book is a meditation on empathy, exile, and the power of language to connect us across borders.
Published in 2017, this debut work showcases Gansel's unique perspective on translation as a form of activism and humanist engagement.
