With Melville’s\u00a0Fid\u00e8le\u00a0<\/em>receding into the dark distance, we turn our attention to Rodrigo Fres\u00e1n’s\u00a0Melvill<\/em>, a bombastic book about Alan Melvill and Herman and the passing down of stories from one generation to the next. On this special episode, translator Will Vanderhyden joins Brian, Chad, and Kaija to talk about translating Fres\u00e1n, about the style and word play found in his books, about the footnotes, about what’s to come. They also talk about the line connecting this to\u00a0Confidence-Man<\/em>, and how to read footnotes. And about the interplay between two narratorial voices in this first part.<\/p>\n

Also mentioned are this interview with Fres\u00e1n on\u00a0Between the Covers<\/em><\/a>, this one with Will Vanderhyden on\u00a0Beyond the Zero<\/em><\/a>, and this new Fres\u00e1n story (“Music to Destroy Worlds” (An Exoeriment)”) in\u00a0<\/a>Southwest Review<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
