On your nightstand now:<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

A combo. IQ84<\/em> by Haruki Marukami. Dorothy Sayers’s Five Red Herrings<\/em> and loads of delightful manuscripts, from Marc Auge to Dominique Edde. Oh, and Beckett’s Letters, the first two volumes. [. . .]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Book you’re an evangelist for:<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Recently? Viktor Halfwit<\/em> by Thomas Bernhard. And since two’s company; Ivan Vladislavic’s The Loss Library<\/em>. Three? Most of Ursula le Guin. Past? . . . Most of Conrad. [. . .]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

What do you love about books in translation?<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The “edginess” of literature different from mine. The “getting-under-the-skin” quality. The sense of dislocation and being “torn asunder.” And the intuitive recognition of humor across cultures!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

What do you think is the future of the printed book?<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Healthy. More beautifully crafted than ever before. Shine on, you crazy diamond!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
