The work of a masterful novelist and translator collide in this
visionary and hilarious debut from acclaimed French writer Brice
Matthieussent. Revenge of the Translator follows Trad, who is
translating a mysterious author's book, Translator's Revenge, from
English to French. The book opens as a series of footnotes from
Trad as he justifies changes he makes. As the novel progresses,
Trad begins to take over the writing, methodically breaking down
the work of the original writer and changing the course of the
text. The lines between reality and fiction start to blur as Trad's
world overlaps with the characters in Translator's Revenge, who
seem to grow more and more independent of Trad's increasingly
deranged struggle to control the plot. Revenge of the Translator is
a brilliant, rule-defying exploration of literature, the act of
writing and translating, and the often complicated relationship
between authors and their translators.
