Over the last two decades, interest in translation around the world
has increased beyond any predictions. International bestseller
lists now contain large numbers of translated works, and writers
from Latin America, Africa, India and China have joined the lists
of eminent, bestselling European writers and those from the global
English-speaking world. Despite this, translators tend to be
invisible, as are the processes they follow and the strategies they
employ when translating. The Translator as Writer bridges the
divide between those who study translation and those who produce
translations, through essays written by well-known translators
talking about their own work as distinctive creative literary
practice. The book emphasises this creativity, arguing that
translators are effectively writers, or rewriters who produce works
that can be read and enjoyed by an entirely new audience. The aim
of the book is to give a proper prominence to the role of
translators and in so doing to move attention back to the act of
translating, away from more abstract speculation about what
translation might involve.
