PEN / IRL -ის ანგარიში ლიტერატურული თარგმანის საერთაშორისო მდგომარეობაზე
ესთერ ალენი
This report was first issued in English back in 2007, but its observations on the international state of affairs with literary translations still hold valid
today. While some of the organizations or people mentioned are no longer in the book sector, and in the meantime new players had come up at the scene, the conclusions of the analysis and the main
issues remain credible. At the time of its first release, the report gathered significant attention from around the world, not just because it is forwarded by Paul Auster, but because it
presents a comprehensive picture of the main issues and forces at play that determine the state of translations. Esther Allen's essay on English language as "an invasive species" has not lost its
power today and remains a reference for anybody concerned with the social and political aspects of translation policies and politics.
