Though the practice of self-translation long predates modernity, it
has found new forms of expression in the global literary market of
the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. The
international renown of self-translating authors Samuel Beckett,
Joseph Brodsky, and Vladimir Nabokov has offered motivation to a
new generation of writers who actively translate themselves.
Intervening in recent debates in world literature and translation
studies, Writing It Twice establishes the prominence and vitality
of self-translation in contemporary French literature. Because of
its intrinsic connection to multiple literary communities,
self-translation prompts a reexamination of the aesthetics and
politics of reading across national lines. Kippur argues that
self-translated works should be understood as the paradigmatic
example of world literature and, as such, crucial for interpreting
the dynamics of literary circulation into and out of French.
