Description

At Home in Translation:
Canadians Translate the World

Translation is a vocation as consuming as any literary discipline, for it takes ingenuity, facility, and tenacity to tease out of English a likeness capturing the wit, nuance, and polish appreciable in the original. It demands originality, for its finest practitioners are so engaged they see their own and other languages afresh.

—from Malahat editor John Barton’s introduction, “A Like Vocation”
