Book Description:

Singles out translation as a way of talking about literary history and theory, philosophy, and interpretation, with the work of Vladimir Nabokov as its "case study". Investigating translation as a transformational rather than mimetic experience allows us to understand the strikingly original end-result: in what emerges, both the "target language" and the "native" language undergo something new that dispenses with the quest for and the "anxiety" of influences.
