New York, NY : 2003 PEN Tribute to Gabriel García Márquez
Location:
Library, University of Illinois
Notes:
In a speech delivered at the 2003 PEN Tribute to Gabriel García Márquez, Edith Grossman said, "To recreate significance for a new set of readers, translators must make the effort to enter the mind of the first author through the gateway of the text - to see the world through another person's eyes and translate the linguistic perception of that world into another language. The better the original writing, the more exciting and challenging the process is. You can be sure that the attempt to enter the mind of García Márquez is as exciting and challenging as the work of a translator gets."
"Since its publication in 1967, One Hundred Years of Solitude has sold well over 10 million copies and earned its author, Gabriel García Márquez, a host of awards including the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. The novel has brought about comparisons to Cervantes, Faulkner, Woolf, and even the bible. This book is part of Harold Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations." -Publisher
