\"SlavFile<\/p>\n

By sheer coincidence, this year’s spring issue of SlavFile<\/em><\/a> turned out to be focused almost entirely on literary translation. The issue starts with Isaac Wheeler\u2019s insightful \u201cHierarchy of Conflicting Demands,\u201d in which he prioritizes seven stipulations a literary translation must meet, ranging from (No. 1) \u201cDoes it produce the same effect on the reader as the original?\u201d to (No. 7) \u201cDoes it use the same metaphorical mechanism as the original?\u201d He talks about various efforts to figure out what goes on \u201cunder the hood\u201d during literary translation. The examples he draws from his own work demonstrate a keen attentiveness to what\u2019s happening under his own. His article is followed by Part II of Steven McGrath\u2019s excellent interview with literary translator Carol Apollonio, which centers on her experiences translating Chekhov. The issue also features a lengthy interview with Olga Bukhina, who has spent decades translating Anglophone children\u2019s literature into Russian (and who oversees a Russian-into-English translation contest for bilingual children). Two reviews of sessions presented at ATA60 in Palm Springs are also literary: Julia LaVilla-Nossova\u2019s review of Martha Kosir\u2019s \u201cOn Understanding and Translating Humor: The Spirits of Heinrich Boll\u2019s House\u201d and my own review of Shelley Fairweather-Vega\u2019s \u201cDecolonizing Central Asia through Translation.\u201d The issue concludes with Part IV of Lydia Razran Stone\u2019s contemplation of Krylov, commenced in commemoration of last year\u2019s 250th anniversary of his birth.<\/p>\n

Even our administrators\u2019 \u201cNotes from the Administrative Underground,\u201d which ponders the isolation that is, at times, a part of our profession and how our SLD community can help ease it (we\u2019ve all become even more isolated since it was originally written in early March!), features Zinaida Gippius\u2019s poem \u201c\u0426\u0435\u043f\u044c,\u201d evocatively translated by Maria Jacqueline Evans. We hope our readers will enjoy and learn from this superb (if we may say so ourselves) issue.<\/p>\n
