pickThis is a mixture of memoir and academia as Lahiri explores the how to or challenges in translating writing into other languages. Her vocabulary is impressive. Her point of the beauty of knowing more than one idioma/ lingue/ language so one can find a more precise word to communicate, translation as a method to read the authors of other cultures, and translating thoughts into another language as self introspection was inspiring and compelling.
Another book I want.
This time from the NY books newsletter.
(Jhumpa Lahiri is an autobuy for me)

A surprise #bookhaul today! There‘s a book fair at our university and I couldn‘t resist buying something. The two books at the front are mine and a friend bought the pile at the back. It was nice to find books that I can hopefully use in my profession in the future! #translationstudies #futuretranslator
I‘m taking the train home this morning and spending the time chatting with a friend and reading about translating semiprepositions from Hebrew to Finnish. #translationstudies #trainhome
