Dancing on Ropes: Translators and the Balance of History by Anna Aslanyan
4.0
A very good book. An insider from the intersection of languages sprinkles her own insights and experiences among some of the most important translated moments from history. Some very provocative reflections.
I found the prose a touch more involved than standard comfortable leisure reading, so it felt a little hard going at times. I think because there are often several agents involved in her stories, more clarity would have been preferable to the concision and neatness Aslanyan achieves.
Undoubtedly a skilled and fascinating account.
