Reading Lit & Lunch: Edith Grossman

  • Grossman_large

The San Francisco-based Center for the Art of Translation hosts Edith Grossman as part of its Lit & Lunch series. Grossman works exclusively as a translator, with special emphasis on the novels of Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, and other leading lights of 20th-century Latin American fiction. She sealed her reputation as America's foremost Spanish-language translator in 2003, when HarperCollins published her interpretation of Cervantes' Don Quixote to much acclaim. Expect an enriching lunch with the woman who once commented about her craft, "Fidelity is surely our highest aim, but a translation is not made with tracing paper. It is an act of critical interpretation."
