{"product_id":"9781564789860","title":"Barbara Wright: Translation as Art","description":"Legendary publisher and writer John Calder said of Barbara Wright that she was \"the most brilliant, conscientious and original translator of 20th century French literature.\" Wright introduced to an English-speaking readership and audience some of the most innovative French literature of the last hundred years: a world without Alfred Jarry's \u003ci\u003eUbu\u003c\/i\u003e, Raymond Queneau's\u003ci\u003eZazie\u003c\/i\u003e, and Robert Pinget's \u003ci\u003eMonsieur Songe\u003c\/i\u003e scarcely bears thinking about. This wonderful collection of texts about and by Barbara Wright—including work by David Bellos, Breon Mitchell, and Nick Wadley, as well as a previously unpublished screenplay written and translated by Wright in collaboration with Robert Pinget—begins the work of properly commemorating a figure toward whom all of English letters owes an unpayable debt.","brand":"Deep Vellum Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149985333488,"sku":"9781564789860","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781564789860_p0.jpg?v=1763788780","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781564789860","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
