Read David Bellos's brilliant book, as recommended by Michael Hofmann of the Guardian: "In his magnificent study of the nature of translation...[David Bellos] has set out to make it enjoyable...Indispensable reading for anyone even vaguely interested in language and translation—in short, it's a triumph," says Shaun Whiteside of the Independent. Adam Thirlwell of the New York Times calls it "A dazzlingly inventive book." Frederic Raphael of the Literary Review praises "Is That A Fish In Your Ear?" as a book full of good and thought-provoking content. It is both learned and unpretentious...[it's] a sparkling bouillabaisse.
