5.0 out of 5 starsAn impressively broad study that can help the reader find ...
By Andrew Coulman on October 24, 2014
Format: Paperback
An impressively broad study that can help the reader find answers to dilemmas traditionally posed by translation studies such us descriptive vs prescriptive, invisible vs visible translator, etc. It all boils down to the ethos, the politics and the economy behind the act of translation.

Apter has also written this highly recommendable book:
Emily Apter: Against World Literature: On the Politics of Untranslatability, 2013, Verso.
