Rebecca Johnson’s ‘Stranger Fictions: The History of the Novel in Arabic Translation’
“But when you think of it instead as an single literary field that contains a porous border between the translation and the original, then you start to think of translation as a form of novelistic production, as critique, as interpretation. It can even be theory.”
Saturday Events: ‘A Poem in Arabic, Not an Arabic Poem’
Dartmouth College’s open Middle Eastern literature lecture series starts on Wednesday, January 27, with a talk by Princeton’s Lara Harb.
