AnnotationGregory Rabassa, the eminent translator who brought much of the Latin American literature of the last 40 years to a world audience, writes candidly about his work. Rabassa (who is half Cuban, half American) sees translating as essentially a hopeless task: nothing will ever equal its original (though Gabriel Garcfa Mßrquez is said to prefer Rabassa's English version of ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE to his own). Given those limits, however, Rabassa sees the act of translating is essentially intuitive rather than logical. In this fascinating book, he writes about his life and his experiences, and proves that he is as good a writer as many of the masters he translates.
