Twelve articles on translation 'theory and practice'
|
| |
Dhaka, Bangladesh (Daily Star): Niaz Zaman's edited volume of twelve articles on translation 'theory and practice' was born out of a 2003 PEN Bangladesh workshop/seminar on the topic. It is an uneven product. The rationale for reprinting pieces such as Lars Hulden's 'Translating the Kalevala' and Salvador Ortiz-Carboneres' 'Translating Nicholas Guillen' from PEN International volumes is lost on this reviewer. No explanatory note, for example, is provided on what is the Finnish 'Kalevala.' And here it might be pertinent to ask of PEN Bangladesh exactly what it thinks its role is in terms of providing support to besieged writers.
