A collection of poetry by the German poet whose parents were murdered in Nazi concentration camps and who eventually committed suicide features essays on Jewish heritage and alienation.
NIKOLAI POPOV teaches English and Comparative Literature at the University of Washington in Seattle. A James Joyce scholar and translator, he co-translated with Heather McHugh a collection of the poems of Blaga Dimitrova (Wesleyan, 1989). HEATHER McHUGH is Milliman Distinguished Writer-in-Residence at the University of Washington. In addition to six acclaimed books of poetry, including most recently The Father of the Predicaments (Wesleyan, 1999, 2001), and the collection of essays Broken English: Poetry and Partiality (Wesleyan, 1993, 1999), she has translated poems by Jean Follain and Euripides's Cyclops.
レビュー
-
An excellent selection of work, with detailed, thought provoking commentary!
Poetry and endnotes for lovers of a challenge, the arcane and inscrutable mystifying acts of genius undiluted and not waiting for you to catch up. This will be appreciated by fans of the films of David Lynch and Michael Haneke, the writings of Joyce, Faulkner, Pynchon, Cormac McCarthy, David Foster Wallace. If you find those authors and auteurs distasteful you may want to pull up the preview for a quick gander so you understand what you're getting into. But for the brave and bold, those courageous literary and intellectual adventurers not frightened or turned off by a challenge, there is so much to enjoy and appreciate in this seminal volume. Also polyglot readers with an appreciation for multiple tongues, those with hard science backgrounds, and afficionados in religious mythology will be especially enchanted by both the poems and explanatory, in depth notes by the eloquent, knowledgeable translators! Highly recommended.

Creative Translations
These are welcome translations of a difficult poet. While not as accurate as those of other translators of Celan's work, they are in many cases more accessible. Unfortunately, Wesleyan University Press has done a very poor job of printing this volume as the ink on some pages is so scarce that the text is not easy to read.
