Anybody who knows the thriller by Pablo de Santis?
La traduccion (1998)
Die Übersetzung (2000)
Setting: a small village in Argentina during a translator's conference about lost argots held in a small village in Argentina
It must be very thrilling, mysterious and somehow an insight into the world of literary translators.
German Reviews are rather enthusiastic.
I wonder why it is not yet translated into English.

Hi, Tuliparola.
I read it and was somehow disappointed. There is not much about translation, as its title may suggest. (Perhaps I saw it as a promise and was then disappointed) It is a good novel, though.

Hi Jan,
I am really very curious:
do you mean other books (novels) with translators as
main characters? Which ones?
Aurora: thank you for your opinion,
which is very helpful, because up to now
I haven't read a review about the book
written by a translator.
And yes I would have high expectations too,
before starting the book regarding translators world.

Hi Turiparola,
no I didn't mean novels with translators as main characters but others (if you're interested, I send you a short list with my faves to your email direction).
But actually, I'm behind a novel with a translator as main character: It's called "No se hable más" and it's from Mariano Antolín Rato (Alianza, MAdrid, 2005). I didn't read it yet, because my book-seller doesn't find it in his shop...
It's about a translator who lives in the Albaicín... See more Hi Turiparola,

It's about a translator who lives in the Albaicín quarter of Granada, well, and I'm a translator and I'm living in the Albaicín of Granada, too. Sounds interesting, dosn't it?
Ciao

There seems to be a translation into German:

Celos en la Fontana di Trevi
Emilio Sierra
[..]«Si bien este libro tiene como protagonistas a traductores, y se introduce en el mundo de la traducción, sus requisitos, sus problemas, la falta de reconocimiento y conocimiento del público en generla, las luchas de sus cultores para ser equiparados a los demás profesionales universitarios, el tema de la novela trasciende el ámbito de los lectores».

"Footnote" by Rodolfo Walsh.
A real jewel. The footnote starts as a line and grows as the story moves forward. And whose is the footnote? The translator's. As the story advances, the translator gets more and more space until....
 Au
I don't think this great story by Argentine writer Rodolfo Walsh has been translated.
