Angry in Piraeus is the story of the creation of a translator, as
Maureen Freely explores what it was in her childhood that led her
to become a traveler across the spaces that exist between
countries, languages, and forms. She offers rich descriptions of
her itinerant upbringing in America, Turkey, and Greece, vividly
evoking what it means to be constantly commuting between worlds -
geographical, conceptual, linguistic, and literary - in search of a
home, or a self, that is proving elusive. She tells of her
transition from novelist to translator - and, specifically,
translator of Nobel Prize - winner Orhan Pamuk - and of how
eventually she found it necessary to give up translating Pamuk in
order to return to her own fictional worlds. As in the entire
Cahiers series, the author's words are complemented by beautiful
artworks, in this case delicate collages created by Japanese artist
Rie Iwatake that journey through their own in - between spaces in a
captivating play of analogies and metaphors. The resulting book is
an unforgettable meditation on translation, writing, and life
itself.
