“Heart Lamp,” a Booker Prize-Winning Work From India Redefined Translation 取自紐約時報

 

How a Booker Prize-Winning Work From India Redefined Translation

An extraordinary author-translator collaboration produced a book, “Heart Lamp,” that was lauded for enriching the English language.



...But “Heart Lamp” is unusual for another reason. It is not a translation of an existing book. Instead, Ms. Mushtaq’s translator, Deepa Bhasthi, selected the stories that make up “Heart Lamp” from among Ms. Mushtaq’s oeuvre of more than 60 stories written over three decades and first published in Kannada-language journals.

The collaboration that won the two women the world’s most prestigious award for fiction translated into English represents an extraordinary empowerment of Ms. Bhasthi in the author-translator relationship....

印度得獎作品重新定義翻譯

作者與譯者合作創作了一本名為《心燈》的書,該書因豐富了英語語言而受到稱讚。


……但《"心燈?》還有另一個不尋常之處。它不是現有書籍的翻譯。相反,穆什塔克女士的翻譯迪帕·巴斯蒂 (Deepa Bhasthi) 從穆什塔克女士三十多年來創作的 60 多個故事中挑選出了組成《心燈》的故事,這些故事最初發表在卡納達語期刊上。


這次合作使兩位女性獲得了世界上最負盛名的英文小說翻譯獎,這體現了 Bhasthi 女士在作者與譯者關係中的非凡"權力?"?…

《馬克吐溫》,羅恩切爾諾著

羅恩·切爾諾 (Ron Chernow) 的新馬克·吐溫傳記篇幅龐大、平淡無奇、遙不可及——它像一座豪宅一樣籠罩著吐溫的職業生涯。切爾諾曾寫過金融巨頭、戰爭英雄和開國元勳的傳記,但他幾乎完全懷念這位被威廉·福克納稱為「美國文學之父」的人。他對馬克吐溫藝術中更深層、最不馴化的領域,以及他那個時代的文學背景幾乎沒有表現出任何感情。他的書是一場耐力測試,它忽略了那些塑造了馬克吐溫並讓他成為當時最清醒、最深刻、最難以預測、最有趣的美國人的因素。

A New Biography of Mark Twain Doesn’t Have Much of What Made Him Great

Ron Chernow traces the life of a profound, unpredictable and irascibly witty writer.

MARK TWAIN, by Ron Chernow


Ron Chernow’s new biography of Mark Twain is enormous, bland and remote — it squats over Twain’s career like a McMansion. Chernow, who has previously written lives of financial titans, war heroes and founding fathers, misses the man William Faulkner called “the father of American literature” almost entirely. He demonstrates little feeling for the deeper and least domesticated regions of Twain’s art, or for the literary context of his era. His book is an endurance test, one that skimps on the things that formed Twain and made him the most lucid, profound, unpredictable and irascibly witty American of his time. Hardy will be the souls who tour this air-conditioned edifice all the way through and glimpse
