Blood Wedding
Notes Blood Wedding by Pierre Lemaitre demonstrates some of the problems translators face. In an interview, Lemaitre's translator — Frank Wynne — used Blood Wedding to show how difficult translation can be. In its original French, the book was entitled Robe de marié or, to the uninitiated, "Wedding Dress". The educated will know that a wedding dress is feminine and should be spelt with a double e, "Robe de mariée". Without that second e, the title is slightly off and unsettling in French as it means "Bride Groom's Dress". In English, that discord doesn't exist, and Bride Groom's Dress is a pretty poor title for a book. So Wynne and Lemaitre chose Blood Wedding instead. Spell-binding violence and intrigue from Lemaitre. Get a … [Read more...] about Blood Wedding

A Philosophical Investigation
Notes A Philosophical Investigation by Philip Kerr is a love it or loathe it futuristic thriller. The book won Kerr recognition as one of Granta's "Best Young British Novelists". Kerr didn’t hold back on the philosophical or technological questions raised by his futuristic thriller and created an intellectually dark detective story. It is just a pity that his version of the future was set in 2013. For thousands of years, when a man took another man's property it was called theft. But for almost a century, in certain parts of this world this sort of thing was legitimized by the name of Marxism. Tomorrow’s political philosophy might sanction murder, just as Marxism once sanctioned theft. A Philosophical Investigation by Philip … [Read more...] about A Philosophical Investigation
